About Jo Ann

Jo Ann Fawcett is a California native. She has Associate of Arts degrees in film production and Accounting. She is the mother of a successful grown daughter and is the proud grandmother of three. She enjoys reading, needlework, walking, travel, and spending time with the family. She is owned by her sibling cats, Winston and Princess Charlotte. 

Jo Ann never aspired to be a writer. In the late 90s she published a community newspaper, writing articles about interesting places to visit and environmental issues. Years later while speaking at a Super Soldier conference about her former husband’s military experiences, an attendee asked her when her next story was coming out. Not her husband’s next story – HER story. Several years later, Jo Ann finally put her story on paper. 

Jo Ann writes from the heart and is grateful for the inspiration that flows to her. She writes matter-of-factly, weaving in her own style of humor. She openly shares her vulnerability. Readers enjoy her honesty and praise her courage to share her story. Through her many struggles, she found her strengths, gifts, and inner power. She learned that dreams can, and do, come true. Today she is a warrior who proudly carries the title, Wise Woman-Crone.

MIDLIFE MAGIC is Jo Ann’s first book. The memoir contains stories about her first six marriages involving abuse, divorce, and death. Jo Ann talks about meeting and marrying husband #7, a former military intelligence officer incarcerated for a crime he didn’t commit. Having been an active member of the Mormon Church for nearly 30 years, Jo Ann left the Church to fully embrace the world of UFOs, elementals, magic and the paranormal – a new path she loves.

THE PRINCE WAS WRONG – BREAKING THE CHAINS OF NARCISSISTIC ABUSE is Jo Ann’s second book, to be published in mid-to-late 2024. This book is a follow-up memoir to the first book as Jo Ann discovered the reality that husband #7 is a narcissist. This book discusses the red flags of this type of abuse. It lays out the demise of their relationship with clear examples of his narcissistic behavior. The ‘happy ending’ chapter shows that Jo Ann has found a joyous life after divorcing #7 and is on the path to creating her best life.

The magical benefit of writing these books and doing her healing inner work is that Jo Ann has found her voice, passion, and desire to help other women who feel stuck and overwhelmed in their toxic relationships. Jo Ann wishes to offer the hope that healing can happen. Their lives can get better. They can find peace and joy in their lives once again.
