My name is Amy Jo. I live, write, create, and play in Portland, Oregon. I am a cultural geographer by training, but I earn my keep by writing and editing atlases, educational and reference materials, and scholarly journals. For fun, I cook, knit, garden, walk the dog, take photographs, read, paint my house (over and over again), hang out with friends and family, and write from time-to-time.
