She revised the poems as prayers and psalms and sold to: Christian Writer’s Showcase, The Compass, Sunday Digest, Writer’s Opportunities, Ego Trips, and Penned from the Heart. Later, she put all the prayers and psalms together in book form and self-published, Praise Through the Seasons. Her mother often told stories about the family that inspired Joan to research the family ancestry. Many years later the family history was written into a book, When Lilacs Bloom, that Joan also self-published.
Writing the family book, and her love for fiction, turned Joan’s attention to become a novelist. She is a secular writer with a Christian world view and has written many genres such as Sci-fi, Historical Time-travel, Biblical Fiction, Psychological Thrillers, and Mysteries.
Her favorite authors are: Ted DekKer, Dean Koontz, C.J. Box, J.A. Jance, Terri Blackstock, Karen Harper, and of course, Linda Wichman.
Joan was born and raised in Wisconsin. She and her husband live in a quiet little village near the Fox Valley. They are the parents of two grown children and grandparents to one grandchild. They share their home with an eight-year-old Corgi, who will never grow up and leave home.view less
