About the author

Joy V Spicer

<p>I was born in bright, sunshiny Malaysia, but I&rsquo;ve chosen to live in cold, wet, sometimes sunshiny England; crazy, I know! Growing up, I loved reading Western fairy stories and eastern mythological ones, and I&rsquo;d spend hours in my imagination, dreaming up my own stories. And I still do. Back then, I was too impatient to write them down, so I spent my early years acting them out instead. To myself and my toys. The actual writing didn&rsquo;t start until I was in my late 20s. I readily admit to succumbing to bouts of &lsquo;lazy-itis&rsquo;, but it seems my writing process is helped by &lsquo;BBc&rsquo; &ndash; Beethoven, Brahms and cake.</p> <p>I live in beautiful Dorset with my 2 sons, and we&rsquo;re the housekeeping staff for 4 cats.</p> <p>Come say &lsquo;hi&rsquo; on Twitter, I&rsquo;m @joyvspicer</p> <p>Better yet, email me at joyvspicer63@virginmedia.com &ndash; I&rsquo;d love to hear from you!</p>
