Josi is the author of twenty-five novels, one cookbook, and a participant in several co-authors projects and anthologies. She is a two time Whitney award winner (Sheep’s Clothing, 2007, Wedding Cake, 2014) and the Utah Best in State winner for fiction in 2012. Her most recent book is "Lord Fenton's Folly" a sweet romance through Shadow Mountain Publishing, part of their Proper Romance Line. She and her husband, Lee, are the parents of four amazing (if they do say so themselves) children and work together as Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) with the Guardian ad Litem’s office of Northern Utah.

Lord Fenton's Folly:

Lord Fenton is a gambler, a dandy, and a flirt - and he must marry or be disinherited; stripped of his wealth and position. He chooses Alice Stanbridge for two simple reasons: he once knew her as a young girl, and she is the least objectionable option available to him. However, Alice has harbored feelings for Fenton since their first meeting ten years ago, and she believes his proposal is real. When she discovers it is not, she is embarrassed and hurt. However, a match with the most-eligible bachelor in London would secure not only her future but that of her family as well.

Determined to protect herself from making a fool of herself a second time, Alice matches Lord Fenton wit for wit and insult for insult as they move toward a marriage of convenience that is anything but a happy union. Only when faced with family secrets that have shaped Fenton's life does he let down his guard enough to find room in his heart for Alice.
