She is dedicated to unearthing publications of the past, and sharing these long-forgotten books... the jewels and riches of the written word. She has uncovered tens of thousands of old publications from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and wants to bring them to life, and send her readers traveling back in time. About Jody... * She grew up on a farm in a small town of about 500 people and first learned to drive on a tractor. She can milk a cow as easily as pluck a chicken. * Stood within twenty feet of the first node of the International Space Station. Unfortunately, her feet were firmly planted on the earth at the time. * Has gone whitewater rafting and horseback riding in the mountains of Montana.
