J.F. (Joyce) Elferdink started Pieces of You, her first novel, after living through the intense and thought-provoking experience upon which the book’s story is based.
A college instructor, she is also a seeker of social justice and a traveler into the unknown. Her favorite things include: science fiction (among many genres); stimulating conversation (actually, that should be at the top of the list!); all shades of pink and purple; trying new things (especially with her grandchildren) and the list goes on…
She welcomes discussion at her blog, A Novel Site at http://harmlessjoyce.wordpress.com
