Ever since she can remember Joelle loved telling stories. As she grew up, she started performing those stories on the stage. Creating vivid characters and singing wonderfully complex songs were my passion. Joelle graduated from Millikin Univeristy with a Bachelors Degree in Vocal Performance and then continued onto DePaul University for her Masters Degree in Opera Performance. From there Joelle went onto perform across the Chicagoland area in a variety of Operas, Operettas and Musicals. She also started teaching acting classes and private voice lessons to pass her passion along to the next generation.

Not exactly the path you'd expect a writer to take.

Joelle never dreamed of writing a novel. But she loved to read. Then one day she had an idea and started to write. Joelle found her passion for creating characters lived on the page as well as the stage. It is her hope that the characters she has created resonate with you and make you smile.

She still teach voice lessons and sings for the occasional professional event. But the rest of her time is spent with her husband and son while dreaming up new and interesting stories. Joelle hopes that someday she can hear yours.
