Juno is a self-identified swamp witch who inhabits the American Midwest. Although a cryptic creature, signs of Juno can be found all across the country — before writing her first novel, she spent years in corporate writing roadside billboards, junk mailers, spam emails, and even radio jingles (for which she is deeply apologetic, but one must pay the bills somehow). Although yet to escape the clutches of corporate, Juno mentally escapes by writing about heroines who use their intelligence and compassion (and occasionally sex and magic) to navigate life’s perils. Catalyst is her first published novel.
