I write. A lot. Sometimes for fun. Sometimes for hire. And then, sometimes to just let it all air out. I believe the word is "expose." Maybe it's right, maybe it's wrong but I live by freedom of speech; freedom to write; freedom to live. As an American, I am a lucky gal. Though life can be painful, life is equally good. It's the yin and yang that I write about. Sometimes the circle of life is terrifying, sometimes it's purely comedic and then sometimes it's down-right sweet. So if you dare, open up the pages to my heart and link on the provoking opinions of my soul. If you wanna retort, do so at Writing@JoVanders.com.

Through my natural curiosity of anthropology, psychology and biology...in 2005, I started researching and writing a non-fiction book called, "The Artistic and Scientific Study of Hugging." Though not ready for publication, I believe it will be a book that stands out in the marketplace as well as insight to the human condition and experience.
