After they married and moved to New York City, Steve wrote screenplays and was hired as a story editor for Warner Bros. The couple had two daughters, bought a shabby brownstone in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, and became jacks-of-all-trades as they renovated their house, doing most of the work themselves. To allow Steve to stay home to write a novel, JoAnne left their young daughters in his care and worked in Manhattan, first in publishing, later in typesetting and printing. Eventually she acquired her own printing business and ran it for 10 years. In 2007, she and Steve retired to Ocean City, NJ, where he died suddenly. JoAnne continues to live in Ocean City and today is employed as an organist and choir director. Her poetry has appeared in several anthologies and journals, and she was a featured poet in September, 2015, at the Sea Isle City Library.ver menos
