Author: Jodi Lea Stewart
Bio: Jodi Lea Stewart is a fiction author who centers her themes around the triumph of overcoming adversity by grit, humor, or hard-rock tenacity. She grew up smelling cedar berries and cow pens on a large cattle ranch wedged between the Navajo Nation and the White Mountain Apache Tribe. Most of her friends were Native American and Hispanic, with a few Anglos thrown in for good measure. On the ranch, she climbed petroglyph-etched boulders, sang to chickens, bounced two feet in the air in the backend of pickups wrestling through washed-out terracotta roads, and rode horseback on the winds of her imagination through the arroyos and mountains of the Arizona high country.

Later, she left her studies at the University of Arizona in Tucson to move to San Francisco, where she learned about peace, love, and exactly what she didn’t want to do with her life. Since then, Jodi graduated summa cum laude with a BS in Business Management, raised three+ children, worked as an electro-mechanical drafter, penned humor columns for a college periodical, wrote regional western articles, and served as managing editor of a Fortune 500 corporate newsletter. 

Her lifelong friendship with all races, cowpunchers, southern belles, intellectuals, and outlaws propels Jodi into writing comfortably about the Southwest, the South, and far beyond. She currently resides in Arizona with her husband, two Standard poodles, one rescue cat, and numerous bossy houseplants. By the way, she hopes you love fried okra (food of the South) and fry bread (food of the Southwest) as much as she does.
