Joyce Thies met her husband in college and it was love at first sight. Readers might recognize her as the Joyce half of Janet Joyce (or Jenna Lee Joyce), the other half was Janet Bieber. She also wrote a romance as Melissa Scott, "Territorial Rights", but is now but is now writing under her own name. While researching a historical about early Montana, Joyce fell in love with the beautiful philosophies held by the Absaroka Indian tribe and wanted to share them with her contemporary readers.
