Jo Ann Fawcett

Jo Ann Fawcett is a native Californian now living in Portland OR. She’s been a successful bookkeeper for over forty years and is looking forward to retirement in the near future. She has also lived in Connecticut, Utah, and Ohio.
Jo Ann is the third of four children. She attended Brigham Young University for two years plus a few community colleges. She has Associate Degrees in Film Production and Accounting.
She is the proud mother of a grown daughter and grandmother of three. She is owned by two cats, Winston and Princess Charlotte. She loves knitting, walking, and spending time in nature.
Jo Ann dramatically changed her life after seven marriages that included various types of abuse, divorce, death, and being a prison wife. In each marriage, Jo Ann felt that she was not enough. Husband #7 was a narcissist, and for over 20 years she didn’t know that was the problem. When the Covid-19 pandemic hit, she took the time to look at what she wanted vs. what she wasn’t getting. Thus began a three-year journey of untangling.
Published in 2021, Jo Ann’s first memoir, Midlife Magic (by Jo Ann Richards), is about her typical suburban childhood, the failing of the first six marriages and lessons learned, life with husband #7 as a prison wife, and the new path she embraced that includes UFO sightings, spirits, elementals, and a magical practice.
Jo Ann’s second memoir, The Prince Was Wrong; Leaving the Narcissist Behind, is due to be published in June/July 2024.
