Joan Hall has always enjoyed reading or listening to stories about inexplicable events, so it's not surprising she writes mystery and romantic suspense. A lover of classic rock music, songs often serve as the inspiration for her books.

When she's not writing, Joan likes to observe the night skies, explore old cemeteries, and learn about legends and folklore. She and her husband live in Texas with their two cats. Learn more about Joan at her website, http://JoanHall.net.

I used this not as a plot but had something similar happen to a minor character in my novel Unseen Motives.(less)

Release Day!

It’s finally here. Edge of Twilight is now available through Amazon. This is the book I almost didn’t write, but I’m so glad I did. It’s turned out to be my favorite of the series.

"There's a certain guilt in enjoying books about disasters. Much like true crime, it can often feel like you are a voyeur of human tragedy. However, I think this is only true when what you are reading doesn't respect its subject. For me, if I can talk" Read more of this review »
