Joy enjoys imagining something creepy in every situation, starting with a fourth-grade theater production when she became convinced a monster lived under the stage. She might not let different foods touch on her plate, but she’s fearless when it comes to mixing love stories and horror in her scary good romances. Joy is currently a school librarian, but has worked in a pet store, a safari park, and vet hospitals and holds a Zoology degree. Animals always feature in her writing. On a good day, her two cats and pug make room on the couch for Joy and her family. They live outside Denver, where Joy experiences frequent shaming that she’s never gone skiing in her life. She enjoys reading, traveling, board games, and going with her English husband ...more

Writing is the most amazing thing because you can control everything in the fictional world you're creating. It's the very best kind of therapy ever. Writing, to me, evokes the same feeling as when I was a little kid playing make-believe games. I can get in the flow and lose all track of time and place as I'm transported to something pulled from my own imagination. As I type, those characters and their world are written into existence where there was nothing before. It's an exhilarating experience. In a way, writing is creating your own reality, if just for a little while.(less)

It's set on the lush Oregon coastline at a raptor center where my heroine, Willow, rehabilitates birds of prey and runs a logging museum supposedly haunted by the ghost of The Bandage Man. She's a gritty, determined woman despite the tragedies that beset her family and left her raising her teenage brother on her own. Her latest venture to fund her birds is opening a tree house hotel. On opening night, her old high school nemesis appears dressed as The Bandage Man to play what's meant to be a harmless prank on a bachelorette party staying in a tree house. Willow isn't amused when Nate accidentally damages an old tree on her property, and she seems to be the only woman alive immune to Nate's good looks and charm. Nate, however, is completely won over by Willow and eager to prove he's turned over a new leaf since his distant high school days of bullying. So he helps Willow out with some repairs around her property and removes the limb he damaged from the old tree, having no idea this action will trigger something horrifying. Suddenly, the familiar urban legend of The Bandage Man seems fun in the face of the very real and ancient evil that Nate's unleashed. As one terrifying event after another occurs, the evil grows to threaten everything Willow loves--which, to her amazement, just might include Nate after all.(less)
