Joy Rocco, born in the Deep South, now travels with her husband. She has two children and three grandchildren plus four “bonus” grandchildren who came through her daughters’ marriage.
Early years found Joy using her creativity in the art world painting and selling oil, acrylic and watercolor. Progression led her to interior design/decorating and space planning of commercial and residential properties. During this time, Joy also sold a line of hand-painted clothing and home goods, created jewelry and a special garment for women to protect their money and credit cards while out shopping or dining—allowing them "hands-free" movement. This product received television and newspaper "cottage industry" promotion in the Tampa Bay area.
Her creative pursuits turned to publishing her novels, in 2006. She has published several fiction novels-her primary focus, interior design booklets, Christian booklets, and professional “how-to” booklets.
