Bio

Joni Hubred
Writer. Mom. Grandma.

Joni Hubred grew up in small towns, where she fell in love with books and longed to one day follow in the footsteps of her favorite authors. 

After a 25-year career as an award-winning community journalist, she created and operated a much-loved news website in Michigan, which closed at the tail of the COVID pandemic. Over the years, she collected a mountain of small town secrets–or as she likes to call them, “inspiration”.

Today, Joni is semi-retired and lives in a very small Minnesota town. Of course.
