Bio: Jo Priestley is a Yorkshire author who aims to write historical fiction love stories that are inspired by the lives of real people. Jo grew up with tales around the fireside in the faded glory of her grandmother's house on the outskirts of Leeds, a house she could ill-afford. Many of her grandmother's stories are woven into Jo's books as she had a rich, often troubled life. Jo has been waiting patiently to share many fictional tales but in the meantime, with a large family, she became a professional business writer. 'The Calling of Highbrook' was Jo's debut novel which is a dark love story set on the North York Moors and her other books all have a sprinkling of grit in varying amounts. Love in all forms is explored, not only romantic. Jo considers raising a large family of strong, kind-hearted daughters to adulthood her greatest achievement. Now she would like to commit herself as much to her passion for storytelling to make her family, and particularly her grandmother proud.
