Linda Joyce

Best Selling and award winning author Linda Joyce writes contemporary romance, women’s fiction, and is working on a cozy mystery series. Her stories feature assertive females and the men who can’t resist them. She lives with her very patient husband in a house in metro-Atlanta. Linda’s a closet artist who paints with a brush, yet longs to finger paint…but hates getting her hands messy. Which is why she hates to garden, yet loves growing veggies. She’s addicted to Cajun food and sushi. Linda will deny she keeps a chocolate stash in her office. More about Linda: She’s a big fan of jazz and blues, and she attributes her love of music to her southern roots, which run deep in Louisiana. Courtesy of her father’s Air Force career, she lived coast to coast in the U.S. and also in Japan. She wrote her first manuscript at twelve years old while living at Yokota AFB in Tokyo. During recess, girls lined up on the bleachers, like birds on a wire, and took turns reading and passing Linda's pages to the next girl in line. In addition to being a book addict, Linda loves dogs. She volunteers as a writer for a national breed magazine, a national dog rescue organization, and is the newsletter editor of a regional UKC dog club. She’s a foodie—a fangirl of celebrity chefs, loves to hike in spring and summer, binge watch movies in the winter, and when the days cool and the leaves begin to turn in the fall, she’s in the field with her pointing dogs.
