She now makes her home in Denver on a small ranch southeast of the city where she loves to complain about her cows, enjoy her horses, and create a home for her imaginings.

Burnett was born in Colorado in the city of Boulder and spent much of her childhood with her backdrop being the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. During this time, she loved playing with dogs and horses in addition to many imaginary friends.
She also loved reading and particularly loved” Little House on the Prairie” by Laura Ingalls Wilder from which she found a lot of inspiration for her games.

Jodi Burnett’s love for storytelling was inspired by her father who used to tell all manner of interesting stories to the family while she was a child.

As she grew up and discovered that it was not socially acceptable to play pretend, she moved inward and started making up stories in her head instead.

It was at this time that she started penning her novels and was pleasantly surprised when she earned $24,000 in her first year and broke six figures in her second year.

She had always dreamed of becoming a twisted combination of spy/lawyer/interior designer who dabbles in horse training and science, but ended up a fiction novelist and mother.
