Jo Rees

Joanna Rees grew up in Essex before getting an English and Drama
degree at Goldsmith's College. After several bizarre jobs, including
running her own sandwich-delivery business and writing promotions for
the back of cereal packets, her first novel 'It Could Be You' was
published in 1997, under her maiden name of Josie Lloyd. This enabled
her to meet fellow novelist Emlyn Rees and together they wrote 'Come
Together', a twenty-something rom-com, which became a Sunday Times
bestseller and was translated into 26 languages and made into a film.
They went on to co-write six more internationally successful novels,
and along the way got married and had three kids. In 2007 Jo went
solo and wrote 'Platinum' followed by 'Forbidden Pleasures' in 2010.
Jo also writes a light-hearted blog about her life as a novelist and
mother in Brighton called Mum Writes Books, which was in the top ten Times mummy blogs. A Twist Of Fate, her eleventh novel, is
published in August 2011.
