Joni Rodgers's Biography

New York Times bestselling author Joni Rodgers was born into a family bluegrass band and grew up on stage, opening for country music legends in the 1960s and 70s. She was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in 1994 and used the chemo downtime to finish her first two novels, CRAZY FOR TRYING and SUGARLAND, both of which were published to critical acclaim. Her bestselling memoir, BALD IN THE LAND OF BIG HAIR, brought her to the attention of celebrities and others who asked her to help them tell their life stories. As a sought-after ghostwriter repped by William Morris Endeavor, Joni works on high-profile book projects at Big 6 publishers while publishing her backlist and new fiction through her own digital imprint, Stella Link. She's also the founder of the League of Extraordinary Authors, a coalition of seasoned authors stepping off the map to combine traditional craft skills with the creative freedom of indie publishing.
