Jo Webnar

Welcome to the wacky world and incredible fantasies of Jo Webnar. I'm an author and freelance writer living a dream aboard a 36' trawler with my adorable husband and a rambunctious Portuguese Water Dog named Takoda.

I met John in Waukegan Harbor where we both sailed. He is a cross between a Tasmanian Devil and a handsome pirate. Once I convinced him to marry me, our life became a continuous adventure.

Ten years ago, we decided to leave our stressful careers for a simpler life. Although our 4 adult children wanted to go with us, we managed to sneak away during the night.

We sold or gave away everything we owned and moved aboard the Jolly Mon. The boat shrinks every year, but we still enjoy the cruising life. During the summer months, we take off in our motor home. We volunteer at a campground in exchange for a free site. It's a wonderful way to see the USA,and has been a rich opportunity for meeting characters and acquiring settings for my novels.
