About Jodi
Jodi Gibson is the author of feel-good, light-hearted fiction including The Five Year Plan and Reinventing Emily Brown. Her books often include a mix of food, travel, humour, and romance. They’re uplifting reads where strong female characters rediscover their true selves and ultimately find their place in the world.
Jodi writes from her home in country Victoria, Australia with her furry writing companions—a vivacious Border Collie, goofy Golden Retriever, and floppy Ragdoll—for company.
When Jodi’s not writing you’ll find her seeking out the simple things in life such as books, tea, chocolate, and sunshine.
