was born the third of four daughters, in Tunbridge Wells, Kent and
moved to Poplar, London when she was three years old. When Joyce was
seven she moved to Essex, attending local schools. Her English teacher recognized her talent for writing and making up stories. Joyce left school at sixteen and in 1971 she had several poems
published in an anthology. Joyce is married with one daughter, one son and a baby grandson; she often made up bed time stories when her children were
young.
After bringing up her family she spent a year at college
re-training as a Medical Secretary and learning computer skills. After a
period working in a hospice as a secretary Joyce joined the local
council offices where she worked full time until retiring. A romantic
and a dreamer, Joyce likes writing stories with intense emotional
episodes. Love stories interwoven with mild violence and suspense are
her forte; often with unexpected twists. This is her second novel and continues the story of Lauren and David, which began In The Strength of a Kiss. Both novels explore family relationships and village life in the sixties. The Strength of a Promise has an unexpected twist and covers a further two years of their lives. view less
