I enjoy writing fantasy novels ~ 'Twig Stories' ~ for children ages 8 to 12 who love nature and adventure. I use the pen name Jo Marshall because no one can pronounce D'Nelle Bloechl.
Twig Stories tell of impish stick creatures in the ancient forests and on the pristine glaciers of the Pacific Northwest, where the fragile world of mysterious, rare animals and lush rainforests are endangered by climate change.
All four Twig Stories novels are illustrated by the award-winning Disney artist David Murray, whose many credits include Tarzan, Lilo & Stitch, Curious George, Mulan, and Brother Bear. David is a recipient of the New York Society of Illustrators Gallery & 2004 Gold Aurora Award.
Royalties are shared with conservation nonprofits.
