About Jo Havens

Not every romance is sugar-sweet. Sometimes the path to happily-ever-after is narrow, scary, and full of doubts and heartbreak. But it is the grit that makes the pearl. Though it takes time, effort and patience, in Jo Havens’ books, love is always the softly glowing beauty on the final page.

In her lesbian romance novels, Jo’s characters struggle with their shortcomings, deal with the trials of life and, ultimately, listen to their hearts and do what is right. Love always wins.

Jo lives in Australia with her daughter, and three cats named Howl, Popcorn and Olivia Coleman. She loves to hear from readers.

Her historical romance, Once in Berlin, won the 2022 Goldie Award and the Lesfic Bard Award for best historical romance, while her sci-fi book, The Blood We Spill, won a Lesfic Bard Award for best debut novel.
