Hi! I’m Joy. I write Christian Historical Fiction. All my stories are full of life and truth and are based on the things that I have learnt on my own journey of faith. The books are set in Medieval Wales and feature monks, abbeys, mountains and forests. Think Cadfael without the murders! Every book is a stand alone redemptive story, but all of my novels are connected somehow. I live on the beautiful North Wales coast surrounded by ancient sites and stunning landscapes that inspire my writing, as does my love of the Word of God. I have also published an Advent Devotional based on the names of Jesus.

My writing journey started only four years ago when I wrote my first novel The Healing during lockdown. I believe God gave me the outline of the story – of a wounded knight and his unlikely monk rescuer – but the healing journey my characters were to go on was based very much on my own experience. Over a number of years I lived through a very difficult season, that challenged my faith to the core. During that time God revealed many truths to me, and reminded me of the promises contained in His Word. These things I poured into that original story in order to inspire hope in others. A publisher read it and loved it, a miracle in itself.
Today I have three published novels, and a fourth on its way. All were inspired by characters from that first novel. The Pilgrim, my second novel, deals with issues of forgiveness, particularly self forgiveness, and The Bride focusses on the love that God has for us, which far surpasses human love. The Stranger, my latest novel, is available for pre-order. It explores how we respond when everything we thought about God is challenged, in the face of suffering.
In the midst of writing my novels, I also produced an Advent Devotional last year based on the names and titles of Jesus in scripture. Christ Illuminated was published by Kevin Mayhew and contains 24 short meditations with scriptures to read. I have also produced a Journal based on my book, The Healing. My shop has more information on all of my books.

“Stories are so powerful. They have the ability to connect with people – with their imagination and emotions. Stories that are based on the truth of what God’s Word says, and that are inspired by His Holy Spirit have the power to go much deeper. I want to write stories that are full of truth, life, hope and joy. Stories that will point my readers to Jesus. Kingdom stories.”
