Joy York grew up in Alabama but has spent much of her adult life in the Midwest, currently living with her husband, Terry, in Indiana with their golden doodle, Bailey. Inspired by a family legacy of oral storytelling, she began creating stories and adventures for her son when he was growing up. With encouragement from family and friends, she began to write them down. Her first book, The Bloody Shoe Affair: A daring and thrilling adventure with the jailer’s daughter, a YA mystery set in the rural south in 1968, was published in 2015. The sequel (also a standalone), The Jailer’s Daughter, is currently being edited. Genuine Deceit: A Suspense Novel, her second novel, was published on Amazon in May 2021. Protective Instinct, a mystery/suspense, is coming soon. For more information, visit https://www.joyyork.com. Twitter @joyyorkauthor Facebook: Joy York Author Instagram: @JoyYorkBooks
