Anna Schmidt

Anna Schmidt is the pen name I have used for much of my career and still use for writing genre fiction (inspirationals, romance, westerns). My "real" name is JO HORNE (https://www.amazon.com/author/johorne). I use that when I write a more complex novel like MONICA'S WAR or THE WINTERKEEPER, or take on a nonfiction project such as PARKINSON'S DISEASE FOR DUMMIES. All of my titles (as well as a sign-up for my newsletter and blog) can be found at https://johorneauthor.com. My monthly-ish newsletter (JO'S JOTTINGS) is a place where I ruminate on some topic that interests me (and hopefully you) in the moment. My blog (JO'S BOOK REVIEWS) is where I write about books I am currently reading--usually for the two book discussion groups I joined. If you are part of a book club or just have a book you'd like to recommend, I'd love to hear from you!
