Manage episode 463579588 series 2900247
Jonni Jordyn, an award-winning author from Oakland, California, has lived a life steeped in creativity. From the age of two, she was immersed in music, which led to singing and acting in grade school. By high school, her love for writing and filmmaking had blossomed, and in college, she added drawing and photography to her artistic toolbox. Needless to say, Jonni had a well-rounded and deeply liberal arts education. During college, Jonni's poetry and India ink drawings were published in literary magazines, and her acting gained critical acclaim in cabaret theater performances. But eventually, she faced the tough decision of narrowing down which artistic passions to focus on. Music and songwriting took the spotlight first, leading her to share the stage with legendary stars of the '60s and '70s—a career-defining chapter. Years later, after moving to Arizona, Jonni embarked on her writing journey. What started with the daunting question of "How can I possibly write more than 11,000 words?" turned into the realization of her ability to write a 160,000-word novel within a year. Now, writing feels more natural, though the challenges of translating countless ideas onto paper and the endless cycle of editing remain. Today, Jonni calls Colorado home, where she writes, edits, and continues to channel her boundless creativity—with her bird as her trusted companion. Through her journey, Jonni's passion for storytelling and her unyielding love for the arts shine through in everything she creates. Featured Books: The Lost Art of Magic (Tome I) "Magic has been lost for centuries, and when 16-year-old Destiny stumbles upon it, she accidentally unlocks it for all the descendants of the ancient clans, but some of them want it only for themselves and are willing to kill to keep it." The Untold Prophecy (Tome II) "After Destiny unlocks the power of magic, and the first prophecy has been fulfilled, magic finds its way into the hands of a most vile and unscrupulous young girl. In her hands, the power grows and without the discipline needed to control it, her lust for more power grows with it. She unleashes her rage upon the world and thus begins the second, untold prophecy. Destiny may be the only one powerful enough to face her, but even she may not be ready. She is driven to find a way to protect her family while confronting her new nemesis, but her youth also drives her along its own reckless path with devastating consequences." The Old Child (Tome III) "Destiny prevented the sorcerer clan from claiming power, but her survival from the battle is in question. Who will step up to lead the family? The Old Child is the third book in the Lost Art of Magic series. Magic has returned after remaining dormant for centuries and this means there will be those that covet power over the powerless. The witch clan must do something to prevent the sorcerers from claiming the world, but must they do it without the strongest of them?"
