Hello from Courtenay, British Columbia, Canada

So great to be here...and what a wonderful idea!

I tend to be long winded (and what writer isn't...lol), but I'll try to keep this short.

My name is Jo-Anne Vandermeulen. As of Saturday, I'm a BC residence (came from Saskatchewan).

I'm VERY virtually active (wish I could say the same about my physical... and at times, my mental activity). Have over 25,000 followers and started building relationships/author platform just over a year ago.

A published author of 2 books: Fiction (Romance) called "Conquer All Obstacles"(Nov./09) and Non-fiction (Internet Resource) called "Premium Promotional Tips for Writers"(Dec./09).

I own my own Internet business called Premium Promotional Services *You Write - We Promote*. I'm a Promotional Manager for writers.

Have 2 personal blogs: *FREE Marketing Tips for Writers* and the other is *Journey to Publication*.


I produce and host a weekly LIVE BTR show called "Authors Articulating with Jo-Anne Vandermeulen".

I love meeting NEW friends...and >supporting writers comes naturally<

Please feel free to send a friend request on FB (I cannot request friends as I've maxed-out...): https://www.facebook.com/joanne.vandermeulen
And/Or follow me through Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/conquerall

Really, really good to be here. At times, I need to lean on others...and it's just great to share (okay...'vent') some of my struggles.

I've been known to be AN INSPIRATATION to others...(and I LOVE THAT).

>Jo waves to ALL<
