I wanna talk about me...

Joy N. Hensley Born in Virginia, I've come back to my roots after five years of wandering up and down the East Coast.  From being a barista to editing and writing commercials for television to being a middle school teacher, there's nothing I'm not willing to try.  Including going to military school, hiking 600 miles of the Appalchian Trail, and playing in the mud with my students!  

A graduate of Greensboro College, I recieved the Excellence in English award for my fiction and poetry contributions to the literary magazine as well as my non-fiction contributions to the college paper.  In 2007 I graduated from Long Ridge Writers Group's Breaking Into Print class.

Now, between teaching high schoolers, writing, hiking, kayaking, walking, scrapbooking, basket-making, and having fun with my husband and one year old son, I continue to work on my craft.  I am currently hard at work on Made for Walking, and a YA novel, Gemma Up-Over, as well as some short stories and non-fiction pieces.  In my other-other free time, I design webpages!
