All About Jo RobertsonLike many writers, I penned my first story at a young age. However, a family and a teaching career put my writing dreams on hold until my Advanced Placement seniors conned me into writing my first complete manuscript.

Quotable QuotesPosted by Jo Robertson Jun 9 2013, 12:05 am in books, famous sayings, Jo Robertson, movies, Quotable Quotes, Quotes, TV One of the reasons I love Shakespeare (you have to love old Will if you’re going to teach him for twenty years) is that so much of his plays and sonnets are immensely quotable.

Richer than I you will never be- I had a mother who read to me.” Most of us cut our teeth on picture books. They weren’t in the romance genre, but they were a kind of romance (stories which look at the world through rose-tinted glasses, offering satisfying resolutions and often focusing on ethical lessons).
