About Joy Preble

Joy Preble

Joy Preble

Location: The Woodlands, Texas

Joy Preble grew up in Chicago, Illinois, listening to her Russian grandmother tell tales of the old country, most of which ended with the equivalent of “We were all very poor and it sucked so I cam here.” Joy began her writing career at age seven with a Thanksgiving play that consisted mostly of the Pilgrim women washing clothes after a long journey. Since then, she has learned to give her female characters, and herself, better things to do. (Not that clean laundry is a bad thing. In fact, she likes it very much. She just prefers someone else to do it.) She is married and has one son and lives in Texas, where she enjoys country music and – when she’s not teaching high school English (and sometimes when she is) – she continues to write. DREAMING ANASTASIA combines Joy’s love for folklore, history, feisty female characters and mysterious guys who may or may not actually be bad and is her first novel.
