   Joanne Rock - Author's Blurbs
About me:
I'm a writer with thirty books on the shelves since my first sale. A dear friend says I'm a Type A personality masquerading through life as a Type B and she probably has a point. I'm ambitious, but don't consider myself competitive with anyone but ME! I have high expectations and take a lot of joy in a job well done. As a writer, I like thinking about what makes people tick and have fun toying with all kinds of personality profiles from the psychological to the astrological to their birth order. I'm an INFJ and a Virgo with the Moon in Leo, a Scorpio Ascendant, for what any of that is worth. In color terms, I'm a Yellow. In the world of Enneagrams, I haven't quite figured myself out yet.

After attending the University of Louisville for a graduate degree in English, I wrote my first romance novel and haven't looked back since. I write sexy contemporaries and medieval historicals, but I like to mix it up sometimes and add a dose of humor and/or suspense.


Here's the official scoop, as in the back cover bio:

Bestselling Harlequin author Joanne Rock writes sexy contemporary romances and medieval historicals that have been reprinted in twenty-three countries and translated into nineteen languages. A Golden Heart winner and three-time RITA nominated author, Joanne has been recognized with numerous industry awards including a RIO (Reviewer’s International Organization) Award, a Beacon, and a Romantic Times' W.I.S.H. Award. A former college teacher and public relations coordinator, she has a Master’s in English from the University of Louisville.

When you love someone - you will do anything
You will do all the crazy things that you cant explain
You will shoot the moon - put out the sun
When you love someone

You will deny the truth - believe a lie
There will be times that you will believe you can really fly
But your lonely nights - have just begun
When you love someone

When you love someone - you will feel it deep inside
And nothing else can ever change your mind
When you want someone - when you need someone
When you love someone...

When you love someone - you will sacrifice
You would give it everything you got and you wont think twice
You would risk it all - no matter what may come
When you love someone
You will shoot the moon - put out the sun
When you love someone

even if today you don't see.
you were made from gossamer wings
open your arms and you will,
partake of the magic you bring.

believe in your hope,
it's right there inside.
flight of the soul,
love is the wind to abide.

Sending you hugs and visions of possibility,
