Joyce Luck is a writer, teacher, amateur painter and guitarist, mystic, thinker, and, well, a walking question mark. She was born in Richmond, Virginia, but over the years migrated westward to California. She holds degrees from Randolph-Macon College, the Pennsylvania State University, and San Francisco State University. She's been a community college professor of English for over twenty-five years, married for 16 of them, and retirement looms on the horizon. She has published numerous articles in print magazines such as Girlfriends and the Bay Area Reporter, fiction in Lodestar Quarterly, and one nonfiction book, a rock biography about Melissa Etheridge, titled "Our Little Secret." Her latest book, a work of fiction titled "The Master Yeshua," was published by Roundfire Books in May 2015.
