Joyce is a ghostwriter for well-known techies whose names she can’t divulge, as well as a Francophile, francophone, mystery lover, history lover, and lifelong learner. So it should come as no surprise that her novels combine intrigues set in France with historical figures and events, or that her protagonist is a teacher. Originally from Brooklyn Heights, she now lives on an island in the Pacific NW. When she’s not blogging about the next big tech trend or escaping to France to research a story, she spends her time gardening, knitting, trying to master Japanese, studying to be a private investigator, and deciding who she wants to kill in her next novel.
