For the past few years I had the privilege of working with Jo as the publisher (ePublishing Works) of several of her early books. Jo frequently changed her author profile photo which is a bit unusual as many authors NEVER update their picture. When I commented about this in one of our discussions she told me it was out of consideration for her fans so they wouldn't be unduly shocked should they ever encounter her in person. That pretty much epitomizes Jo Beverley. While ever a proper lady, she maintained an unpretentious and approachable air that always drew people to her. Jo, we'll miss you but your legacy will live on for generations to come.
