    J.A. Behnke

    Joyce started writing at an early age when her mother told her to write down her thoughts, crumple up the paper, and throw it away. Little did she know her mother read each and every one! Joyce self-published her first book of short stories March, 2014 at the urging of her high school gal pals whom she reconnected with last fall after forty-five years of silence. Although her profession is that of a visual arts teacher, she finds writing to be a fresh creative outlet that she enjoys immensely.
