About Me


I'm Jo and I live in Florida with my husband and two girls. I have a lot of different interests that keep me very busy. I love country music and I love writing, so I freelance for [email protected] as a reviewer. You can read some of my CD reviews by clicking here . I also work a little bit with www.countrystarsonline reviewing and writing special articles.
I'm involved in Girl Scouts as a troop leader for a troop of sixth Grade Juniors. I'm also Product Sales Coordinator for our Service Unit. Yes, that means cookies!!!
I've got a few years under my belt agewise, but I'm a kid at heart. I refuse to grow up and just enjoy life as it comes. I've been married to a wonderful man for 22 years and planning on another 50 or more.
Here is a slideshow of some of my favorite country artists that I've met over the years. Enjoy!

I'd like to meet:

I love to meet great people who enjoy life!

Music:

My first love is country music. I have listened to it all my life, and the traditional sound is what I still like. My favorite artist of all time is Ronnie Milsap, but I have an endless list of others that I like. Along with country music, I listen to classic rock and a little pop as well.

Movies:

I'm a Disney freak, so any Disney movie is generally great for me. I like romantic comedies and good action flicks. I also like sci-fi stuff.

Television:

I like CSI Miami and the original CSI. I enjoy some sitcoms like Reba, Life According to Jim, etc. I don't have a lot of time to watch unfortunately.

Books:

Some favorite authors are Nora Roberts, Nora Roberts writing as J.D. Robb, Kathy Reichs, Christine Feehan, Maggie Shayne, Sherrilyn Kenyon, J.R. Ward, Kim Harrison and the list is really endless. But those are a few who I keep current with their releases. I recently discovered Janet Evanovich, and I'm happily going through her Stephanie Plum series.

Heroes:

Check out Ronnie Milsap's latest video!! :)
