Biographie de Joy Llewellyn

Joy Llewellyn spent much of her childhood living in Northern Canada where she developed a passion for canoeing, mosquito repellant, and wide-open spaces. And books. Lots of books since there was no electricity and the closest town was 100km away by bush plane. She's travelled to over 30 countries, including spending time herding goats in France, living in a Tibetan Buddhist Monastery in Nepal, and hiking thousands of kilometres on different Caminos in France and Spain.   Her documentary and television screenwriting and story editor work led to her teaching screenwriting in Canada, India, and China.
Joy's fiction and non-fiction stories and articles have been shortlisted in the Commonwealth Stories Competition and published in anthologies, newspapers, and magazines. She's also an avid long-distance hiker and when she's not pulling on her hiking boots and sorting through her backpack, she lives on a small island that has no streetlights and is only accessible by ferry. Joy shares this idyllic island and ocean space with some other humans, hundreds of deer, and a resident Orca Whale pod.  The Teen Rebel Series involves teenage girls finding their way out of unfamiliar and challenging situations.  CAMINO MAGGIE is based on the second half of Joy's 1600km hike on the Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage route through France and Spain.
SPARK REBECCA and GATOR BOARDING ARIELA are both adaptations of TV and film scripts Joy wrote that had been sitting in her drawer, unproduced. More books will follow. Go with gusto, Teen Rebel readers!
