MEET JODI BURNETT
Jodi Burnett is a Colorado native. She loves writing Mystery and Suspense Thrillers from her home in the Colorado Rockies where she also enjoys her horses, complains about her cows, and writes to create a home for her imaginings. Inspired by life in the wilderness, Jodi fosters her creative side by writing, watercolor painting, quilting, and crafting stained-glass. She is a member of Novelists, Inc. and Sisters In Crime.
Her love of story was cultivated by her father—the family bard. Some of her best memories are of sitting with her dad on the back porch, listening to him recount his boyhood adventures. Jodi credits her love of reading to him as well. When she was in high-school, Jodi’s dad introduced her to Robert Ludlum, whom she still considers the quintessential spy novelist. Jodi’s love of suspense has never waned.
Married now for 41 years, Jodi and her husband, raised their four children while he served in the United States Marine Corps. They lived in Virginia, Texas, North Carolina, and Okinawa, Japan before returning home to Colorado. Jodi spent several years as a Therapeutic Riding Instructor for children with Cerebral Palsy and Traumatic Brain Injury. After that, Jodi started her own business called Horses Healing Hearts, where she provided equine assisted growth and learning experiences for at-risk teens and teen moms.
Jodi and her husband now live in the Rocky Mountains where she enjoys her dogs and horses, complains about her cows, and writes to create a home for her imaginings. In addition to life in the wilderness, Jodi fosters her creativity by writing, painting with watercolor, quilting, and crafting stained-glass.
