BEHIND THE SCENES | Joy Jordan-Lake

"Behind the scenes"

Dear Reader,

Ever wondered what inspired a particular novel's characters or central conflicts, or why an author chose a particular setting or time period or point of view? I'm fascinated by these things when I read, so I thought some readers of my books might be curious as well. It's not nosiness, by the way, if it's literary inquiry! If you're interested in those things too, the posts below are for you—and I'll be adding more "Behind the Scenes" peeks regularly.

Thank you for joining me!
—Joy
