Author
Joan Reeves is a New York Times and a USA Today bestselling author of Contemporary Romance. Her novels have been published in a half dozen languages, and her ebooks are available at most ebook sellers with audio book and print editions also available. Several of her books are available in French editions through her publisher in France. Joan lives the philosophy that is the premise of all of her romance novels: "It's never too late to live happily ever after." She lives her happily ever after with her hero—her husband—in the Lone Star State. When not writing romance—or nonfiction to share what she has learned in life—Joan divides her time between the hustle and bustle of Houston and a small house in the Texas Hill Country where she and her hero sit on the porch at night, look at the star-studded sky, and listen to the coyotes howl.
