Novelist Sarah Jio Finds Life Stranger Than Fiction

Sometimes life is stranger than fiction. That's been the case for all of us since stay-at home-orders went into effect.

Working from home isn't easy. But, one profession seems more suited for it than others: writers. Novelist Sarah Jio has worked from home for years. She's a former freelance journalist who wrote for publications like Glamour magazine until she wrote her first fiction book, "The Violets of March."

That was nearly 10 years ago and Sarah hasn't stopped writing since. However, she's now finishing her latest novel while being surrounded virtually 24/7 with a family that includes a husband, three sons, three stepkids and a brand new puppy! #whatcouldgowrong
