Jo Riccioni

Jo Riccioni studied English at Leeds University in the UK and graduated with a Masters in Medieval Literature. During this time she fell in love with Icelandic saga, and wrote papers on the Arthurian and Robin Hood legends, all of which have influenced her fantasy writing. Funding her reading habit has taken many forms, and jobs all over the world have included being a painter and decorator, a potato chip grader, a teacher, a corporate trainer, a bookseller, an editor, and a manuscript assessor. Currently, when not working on her own novels, she manages to teach both sex ed and creative writing, although not at the same time.
