Legacy and identity, founded on hope-filled faith, infuse the tales of the soul written from the heart of JOY E. RANCATORE. Her Carolina’s Legacy Collection embraces everyday moments that constitute a lifetime and its heritage. Told around multiple related characters, this collection explores faith, life, death and the demons within through four mediums—novel, novella, short stories and epistolary.

Joy’s technical background includes more than two decades of professional writing and editing. Ongoing training in writing, publishing, business and counseling enables her to package soul-filled stories for her readers.

It's all about how to find—and keep—a writing critique partner! We're pretty excited about it because it's the book we needed a few years ago when we were trying to figure out how to be critique partners.(less)

It could be in the lilt of a tune, the whispers of a new character, a brilliant sunset or sunrise, a funny phrase spoken by one of my children or the tragic realities of the world in which we live. Whatever the inspiration, the words or the characters guide and move me, scene to scene, beginning to end. I'm thrilled to push the pen or tap the keys to get these stories out to readers like you!(less)
