Jo-Anne Sieppert Author

I was born in Leeds in Northern England. I moved to Canada with my family at age ten. I began writing when I was about five years old, mainly poems and short stories. I write whatever comes into my head. My favourite time to write is late at night when everyone has gone to bed. There is something about the whole house being asleep and dark, the only light coming from my computer screen and the only sound the creaking wood as the house settles, that is simply inspiring.

They came out that way for a reason

I released them from my head

The day that I stop writing

That day I will be dead
