Thanks to a family with an overabundance of imagination and a love for books of all kinds, Joie grew up learning the value of a good story. Early on, she realized writing was as essential to her as oxygen and recorded her first story at six and finished her first novel at twelve. Along with giving into her lifelong passion for storytelling, Joie works full-time and treasures motherhood while bringing up her son, daughter, and Cardigan Welsh Corgi.

To learn more about Joie and her work, visit her blog "Spirited Chatter," which she co-hosts with fellow multi-published author, Ann Marie Bradley.
