Joyce Elson Moore

Joyce enjoys speaking with book groups, at library events, and book festivals. She offers workshops on topics that range from the craft of writing to researching for historical novels. Joyce lives on the gulf side of Florida with her rescued boxer dog, rabbits, tree squirrels, a resident coyote, and several gopher tortoises that call her wooded three acres their home. She is an unabashed Francophile who also enjoys ballroom dancing, RVing and overseas travel, yoga, visiting with her family, and taking classes in almost anything she has not tried.
