Stories where science Fiction and Faith come together.

I am a Catholic, which dictates my writing with a science fiction twist. It can feel like a small doorway into a whole universe, so imagine something that carries both the hush of a chapel and the hum of a starship. Think of a line that suggests faith isn’t a relic of the past but a compass for the cosmos. I am a writer who looks through a telescope with one eye and Scripture with the other, charting stories where grace bends light, mystery fuels exploration, and the human heart remains the bravest vessel in the galaxy.

About Jo Cortez

I am a devout Roman Catholic and a parishioner at Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church in Rosenberg, Texas. I was born and raised in Fort Bend County with five sisters. I credit my parents for their prayers that led me back to the church. I majored in Criminal Justice and minored in Physical Education. I retired from the Texas Department of Human Services. I followed up as a substitute teacher, which led to a permanent position as a P.E. coach paraprofessional. I am now fully retired, but I keep busy doing various activities, including part-time work and mostly writing, which started as a hobby. I have two novels: Three Days and Inhuman.
