SUNDAY SPOTLIGHT
This week our spotlight goes to the author
JOY WOOD
I have listed below Joy's books ranging from her latest book Dead Pretty to her first ever book For The Love Of Emily. All of Joy's books are available on
As a working nurse, Joy Wood has been creating stories in her head for years, but never found the time to do anything with them – life just got in the way somehow. Ten years ago, she was made redundant and moved to the picturesque seaside town of Cleethorpes in Lincolnshire. She loves nothing better than walking along the seafront and thinking up ideas for stories. Joy's debut novel was written by Joy 'just to see if she could really,' – she had no idea it would sell like it did and continues to do so.
Dead Pretty is Joy's 8th book you can find her and her books at the links below.
