Johannah Davies (JD) Spero’s writing career took off when her first release, Catcher’s Keeper, was a finalist in the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award in 2013. Since then, she’s found similar success with her young adult fantasy Forte series, winning recognition from National Indie Excellence Award (2014, 2016), Adirondack Literary Award (2015), and Book Excellence Award (2016). But it was her experience starting her own company during the dot-com boom in the late 90s that inspired her first book (unpublished). With a Masters in Education, Spero leverages her years as a high school English teacher in author presentations across the country, most notably at Dallas-Fort Worth Writers Conference in 2014. A full-time novelist, Spero recently was accepted to an exclusive writing retreat in Scotland. After living in various cities from St. Petersburg (Russia) to Boston, she’s happily settled with her husband and three sons in the Adirondack Mountains, where she was born and raised.
