Former Silicon Valley Vice President of Human Resources, author Sherry Joyce enjoyed many years of creative and technical writing, from product marketing literature to serving as editor-in-chief of high-tech company newsletters. Sherry graduated from Bryant Stratton College, Milwaukee, Wisconsin and completed her design education from Canada College, Redwood City, California. She is a member of Sacramento Sisters In Crime, Northern California Publishers and Authors and California Writers Club. Sherry Joyce’s 2013 debut fiction, The Dordogne Deception, was conceived when the tower of the French chateau where she was vacationing was struck by lightning. Her second, very successful novel, Dangerous Duplicity is set in El Dorado Hills, St. Paul-de-Vence, Tribeca, New York and the Riviera—a riveting double-crime ‘can’t put it down’ thriller. Two of her hilarious short stories were published: the NCPA Our Dance With Words/Cozumel Calamity and Capitol Crimes/Murder By Conclusion. When Sherry isn’t plotting her next romantic suspense, she enjoys oil painting, golf and travel with her husband and spoiling her beloved West Highland Terriers, Abby and Effie. She is currently working on a sequel to Dangerous Duplicity. Website: http://sherryjoyce.com
