Bios
Full Bio:
JODI spent too many years in New York and San Francisco stage managing classical plays, edgy fringe work, and the occasional musical. She is, therefore, overdramatic, takes herself way too seriously and has been known to randomly break out in song. Her queer MCs are imperfect but genuine, stubborn but likable, often kinky, and frequently their own worst enemies. They are characters you can’t help but fall in love with while they stumble along the path to their happily ever after.
For those looking to get on her good side, Jodi’s addictions include lattes, a nice cabernet and tequila any way you pour it. She’s obsessed with Shakespeare and Broadway musicals (obviously). She can be found wearing sock monkey gloves while typing or on the beach enjoying the sun and the ocean. When she’s not writing and/or vacuuming sand out of her laptop, Jodi mentors queer youth and will drop everything for live music. Jodi lives near New York City with her beautiful wife, and together they are mothers of dragons (cleverly disguised as children) and servants to an enormous polydactyl cat.
