About Jodi

Hi, I’m Jodi a multi-passionate creative who writes from country Victoria Australia, on the traditional lands of the Bpangerang and Yorta Yora people.

I write feel-good stories that blend heart, humour, mystery, and romance. Stories that you make you want to curl up on the couch and forget about the real world, even if only for a short time.

With small town settings from Australia, Italy, the USA, and England, my novels invite readers to escape to places rich with character, community, and hidden secrets. At the centre there’s always a resilient woman intent on finding her place in the world, and opening herself to a second chance at love with a flawed but good-hearted hero.

If you love a story where the setting is as important as the characters, the story makes you laugh, cry and everything in between, and the characters feel like friends you’d love to have a cuppa with, then you’re in the right place.

When I’m not writing fiction, I’m still writing. You’ll find me on my Substack called Little Earthquakes. There I write weekly essays about the ideas, books, experiences and everyday things that make me stop, think, question, consider and maybe even reconsider.

I’m also host of the Ask The Author podcast which you’ll find on your favourite podcast app. With three seasons under my belt you’ll find short, sharp episodes full of writing advice. Season 3 is solely dedicated to interviews with authors who share their journey and things they’ve learned along the way (and are still learning!)

When I’m not playing with words, I’ll be reading them. Most likely cheating on my romance novel with the latest psychological thriller. I also love baking, Pilates, running, early morning walks for coffee with my own real-life hero and our two dogs Banjo and Florence, and cuddles with my demanding but very cuddly Ragdoll cat Sonny.

In a plot-twist I’m also studying to be a massage therapist!

I am sometimes on Instagram where I try not to be a slave to the algorithm, just my own flow. @jfgibsonwriter
