Joyce Long:

I am Joyce Long and I am married to my childhood sweetheart. We had two children which we lost to cancer and heart attack. We lost a grandson and two great grandbabies in the Joplin tornado. We do have a deep love of the Lord and that is how we have survived.
I have a daughter-in-law who keeps me in line and her two children and son-in-law. I have a new book just out about my grand-son-in-law who is a Carnie. I have a grandson who is deployed, but I work with his wife, so see her and their two children daily. I also have a granddaughter and her husband who live outside the area, so don't see her much. I have family in Heaven and here on earth.
My husband and I enjoy traveling and have been in all fifty states which I incorporate in my children's books. My husband is active with the Shrine and is serving this year as their Chaplain. That keeps us busy.
Reading and writing keeps me busy. I believe writers should attend conventions and join author's clubs.
Favorite Quotation is by Henry Ford: "Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you are usually right." To be writers we have to think we can.
Keep writing.

terry godwin: Dear JoyceHaving read all about you I commend and appreciate your life style. I believe there must a been a god, only one. Fate is often in our own hands, and what will be, will be. We all can make the world a better place if we make the effort. Jaw-Jaw not War-War. Nice to have made contact. Keep writing

littlebit69: Dear Joyce I'm sitting here reading your story. You've endured a lot in your life To lose two children a grandson, and two great grandbabies. is too much for anybody to endure. I know the death of losing a child I lost my son the feeling is devastating Feels like somebody took a knife and stabbed you in your heart and twist it. After all of this you're still standing strong. God is good. Amen
