About the Author

Joy Skye lives on the seductive island of Corfu with her four dogs and an embarrassing number of cats. Her many years working in the tourist industry on this sunny island and her love of all things literary inspired her first romantic comedy, Corfu Capers and she has been writing ever since. She loves to cook, dance and drink wine, usually at the same time, and is currently working on her next book, due to be released later this year. She also loves to travel, absolutely anywhere, and is looking forward to jumping on a plane!
