Ribar, Joy Ann: - Joy Ann Ribar pens the Deep Lakes Cozy Mystery series in her RV writing nook everywhere it roams! Born and raised in central Wisconsin, Joy's life includes a cocktail of careers: news reporter, paralegal, English educator, and college writing instructor. She loves to bake, explore the outdoors, and visit wineries. Joy infuses this mixture into her main character, Frankie Champagne, adding a special blend of sass and humor. Her writing is inspired by Wisconsin's four distinct seasons, natural beauty, and kind-hearted, but sometimes quirky, people. If you'd like to see Joy in person, send her a message via email, on Facebook, or Instagram, to see if she's in your neck of the woods or contact your local bookstore or library to see if they would like an author visit!
