JoAnn Bren Guernsey

 

My fiction is not easily categorized.  I like to think it crosses several genres: literary, mainstream, women's, young adult, slice-of-life, psychological, and erotica.

 

It's darkly funny, romantic with an edge, experimental without tossing away all the conventions.

 

I love language, music, and all forms of visual artistry (the nature photos on this site are mine). In my writing I explore turmoil in and out of loving relationships, and I take my characters and readers on a wide range of emotional journeys.

 

I also derive great satisfaction as a teacher of creative writing (fiction and memoir), and I've been told my passion for writing is contagious.
