Jo Wanmer

Jo Wanmer is an Australian and enjoys living in sub-tropical Brisbane, Queensland. Raised on a cattle property, she loves nature. Although living in the city now, she still explores the wonders of the bush on her daily walks.

The first thing she can ever remember writing was a poem that expressed her sense of loss when her family's property had to be sold soon after her father's death. She was only a teenager. Other journal writings were all birthed in times of stress and confusion. Eventually the desire to write increased as she longed to share her life experiences and the incredible grace of God toward her. It was April 2000 when the idea of writing a novel was birthed.

She really enjoyed writing ‘Though the Bud be Bruised’ and is working on another novel. Her passion is to bring the love, healing and hope of Jesus to men and women who have walked through life’s valleys. There is always light at the end of the tunnel.

As an associate pastor, Jo is an accomplished speaker and preacher. She enjoys speaking on any of the topics raised in this book. She shares weekly through her blog www.jo-wanmer.blogspot.com
