Autorenporträt
After researching her family tree, Joy discovered that her mother was descended from the Jordans of Reighton. Thanks to an available transcription of the parish records, she decided to make an imaginative reconstruction of the village in the early 18th century. Work began on the writing as soon as she retired from teaching, a project that has resulted in a series of four novels. Joy lives with her partner on the East Yorkshire coast, dividing her time between writing, gardening, walking and enjoying days out with her family.
