ABOUT JOYEE
Joyee Flynn grew up in Chicago
living in the same house all her life until she went left for
college. Her mom taught Joyee how to read at an early age and
was able to read books at a 3rd grade level before
attending kindergarten. She always read above her reading level
and read some of her favorite novels in 6th grade for
the first time.
Though she has a great life,
she loves to get lost in fantasy that only books could bring.
She kept writing short stories, romance, mystical, and of course
adding in hot cowboys any chance she could. Her wide interest in
reading was reflected in her writings. Currently Joyee lives
with her dog, Marius, named after a vampire from Ann Rice’s
Interview with the Vampire series. She dreams of one day
living out in Montana, enough land to have a few horses, and
find a couple of cowboys of her own.
A lover of men, Joyee’s all
about them in any form in her books. Vampire, werewolf,
military, doesn’t matter at all as long as they are hot, hard,
and sex fiends!
INTERVIEW
Q: What is your normal
day like?
A: Roll out of bed, walk the
dog, and then make coffee. The coffee is important. I sit down
with coffee and breakfast, re-read what I wrote yesterday and
make any edits. That takes about an hour, after that I start
writing based on my time. I write 50 minutes and take a ten
minute break to do household chores. That’s when I gather my
thoughts on what I see next in the story. Normally, I forget
lunch so I have an early dinner and return emails. I write for a
little longer, then maybe watch the TV for a while that’s been
on all day. My pup has had guard/attack training, so unless
there’s other noise in the background, he barks at every little
noise. After I take the pup out for the night, we crawl into
bed. And yes, he sleeps under the covers with me, LOL.
Q: When did you know you
wanted to be a writer?
A: Not until after college, but
I started writing in grammar school. I was a nerd who had
popular friends, but I was pretty quite and got picked on a lot.
Instead of sticking up for myself, which I learned when I got
older, I would go home and write about what happened. I would
turn it into a story and change the ending into how I wanted it
to be.
Q: Where do you get most
of the ideas for your stories?
A: Honestly, not a clue. I
guess it’s either a culmination of things I’ve seen or read. I
just get this basic idea for a plot or character. After I sleep
on it for a few days, I have a book in my head that I have to
get on paper.
Q: Do you have any
unfinished projects sitting around?
A: Yes, I think all authors do.
Q: What are some of your
hobbies?
A: I read a lot, and incredibly
fast. It’s a very expensive habit. Other than that, I’m kind of
a dork. I like to garden, make my own candles, and lots of
crafts. I really don’t think checking hot guys is a hobby, but I
really wish it was. I like to workout and be outdoors, pretty
basic stuff.
Q: Who are some of your
favorite authors, and if we were to visit your home, what books
would we find on your bookshelf?
A: You’d find more books than I
really have room for. LOL. I’m a HUGE Charlaine Harris fan,
though I have most of her stuff on ebook. I love the Anita Blake
series, and almost anything vampire or shifter. Obviously, I’m a
major Stormy Glenn fan, I’m just glad she was crazy enough to
agree to work with me. I like Nora Roberts, Ann Rice, and I’m
totally into the classics. I have everything Shakespeare and
Charles Dickens ever wrote.
Q: If you could be any
character of any book or movie, who would you be?
A: Anita Blake, I would totally
pick her! Then I’d kick my own ass for letting Richard treat me
the way he has for so long. And then probably have a lot more
sex then she does… I don’t have quite the same hang up’s as she
does. I identify with her a LOT. We have some of the same family
issues, and definitely think alike.
