Jo Bartlett has been writing feel-good fiction since 2014, building a catalog of over 50 books across nine series. Her earliest works include The Gift of Christmas Yet to Come (2014) and Among a Thousand Stars (2015), and she quickly found her niche writing about close-knit communities where neighbors look out for each other and romance has a way of turning up when least expected. The Channel View Farm series, starting with Give Me Your Answer Do (2016), established her talent for combining rural settings with emotionally grounded storylines.

Her biggest series is The Cornish Midwife, which began in 2019 and grew to twelve entries by 2023. These books follow midwives working in a small Cornish town, balancing the demands of their profession with their own complicated love lives and family ties. Several titles in the series were repackaged with alternate names for different markets, so readers may encounter the same story under two different covers. The Cornish Country Hospital series, which started in 2023, carries a similar premise into a hospital setting and has already reached six books.

Beyond her longer series, Bartlett has written fifteen standalone novels ranging from the cozy Christmas-themed The Last Christmas Kiss (2020) to the more recent A Mother’s Last Wish (2025). She also produced shorter works in the Fabrian Books’ Feel-Good series and the Seabreeze Farm trilogy. Whether her characters are running a farm, delivering babies, or starting over in a new village, the common thread is always warmth, community, and the belief that it is never too late for a fresh start.
