Jodie Cain Smith is the author of two Southern Gothic novels, The Woods at Barlow Bend (1st edition Deer Hawk Publications, Nov 2014; 2nd edition Kat Biggie Press, July 2021) and Bayou Cresting: The Wanting Women of Huet Pointe. Her debut thriller, Splintered Reeds, releases April 29, 2025, from Aethon Thrills, LLC. More than any other character, Jodie enjoys creating ambitious women who often fly across the line to dangerous women.
When she is not creating southern fiction, Jodie can be found hanging out with the sweetest boy in the world, her son Bay, and her long-suffering husband. Seriously, the husband puts up with a lot of nonsense.
Jodie is also the Event Coordinator for The Haunted Book Shop in Mobile, AL, and is the Founder of the Mobile Literary Festival.
