JoAnn Reed splits her time between upstate New York and Naples, Florida. She writes stories that explore life, love, loss, and the resilience of the human spirit.

​

JoAnn is the author of Nine Lives: The Heartbreak of Addiction, a powerful memoir chronicling her family’s journey through her son’s struggle with addiction. Through her writing and public speaking, she has shared her story with women’s groups and on local radio to raise awareness about substance dependency and the profound impact it has on families.

​

Her work often focuses on strong, resilient women and the emotional complexities of family relationships. Her novel The Sisters of Adams Acres continues this theme, exploring sisterhood, forgiveness, and the healing that can come from confronting the past.

JoAnn is a mother and grandmother who values time spent with family and friends. When she’s not writing, she enjoys Pilates, golf, boating, dancing, entertaining, and writing poetry.
