Joy Elbel writes primarily in the young adult paranormal romance genre. Her first set of novels consists of four books beginning with Shades of Summer. The Haunting Ruby series is equal parts mystery, danger, and romance topped off with a ghostly dose of witty humor. This is also her readers’ first glance at the town of Charlotte’s Grove—a miniature mecca for all things mysterious. She has written three other books that weave together seamlessly with her original series. Minor characters in her earlier works get their turn in the spotlight in future novels. She is currently re-releasing her past works with a fresh, new look while working on a witchcraft trilogy slated for a 2019 release.
