Jodi Lea Stewart

Jodi Lea Stewart, the author of eight multi-award-winning novels, believes in and writes about the triumph of the human spirit through overcoming adversity with grit, humor, and stubborn tenacity. Her writing reflects her life beginning in Texas, Missouri, and Oklahoma, later moving as a youngster to an Arizona cattle ranch next door to the Navajo Nation, and, as a young adult, resuming in her native Texas. Growing up, she climbed petroglyph-etched boulders, bounced two feet in the air in the backend of pickups wrestling through washed-out terracotta roads, and rode horseback on the winds of her imagination through the arroyos and mountains of the Arizona high country. Her lifetime friendship with all nationalities, cowpunchers, and the Southern Gentry allows Jodi to write comfortably about anything in the Southwest, the South, and far BEYOND.
