Meet Joni

Hey!

I'm Joni, and I'm absolutely terrible at writing about myself, but here we go. I'm married to the love of my life and a mother to 3 wonderful children. My oldest son is 16, my daughter is 11, and my youngest son is 5. A lot of my life revolves around being their mother and I wouldn't trade it for anything. My family also has 2 dogs, a cat, and 2 fish. Yes, our house is quite full, but it's full of love.

When I'm not busy with my family or the house upkeep, I can often be absorbed in a book. I love all methods of reading. One of my favorites is to listen to an audiobook while playing a video game or coloring.

I've had a love for reading my whole life, but it really picked up when my 16-year-old was battling cancer. There were a lot of times that I just couldn't sleep or when he was in procedure and I just needed a distraction. Books then became my saving grace and I haven't slowed down much since.

After my son accomplished remission, I wanted to share my love for what I read with others and that's when I started up my Instagram account. I never imagined it would turn into the community and resource that it turned into for me. I have mostly read titles by indie authors since creating my Instagram page and I love utilizing my page to platform the books I read. Instagram connected me with SafeHaven Publishing, and I'm so excited about my future with the company.
