Joyce Sherry is a playwright-turned-novelist who writes stories where ghosts speak, vampires brood, and hope refuses to die—even after death. A lifelong lover of the strange and the tender, Joyce once collaborated with Ray Bradbury on a stage adaptation (yes, that Ray Bradbury), and her short fiction has been recognized by Vocal.Media and 3Elements Literary Review. She’s also a professional coach who helps people navigate life’s plot twists with humor and heart. Joyce loves to tell stories. Her favorites are fantasies, and if she can get a cat or a dog into them, even better. She writes the kind of novels she likes to read. That way, every step of the writing process is a pleasure. Her protagonists are strong women, whether adults or adolescents, who are surrounded by a diverse, often quirky, cast of characters. Her works abound with humor, hope, and resilience.
