Joyce Sherry is a playwright-turned-novelist who writes stories where ghosts speak, vampires brood, and hope refuses to die—even after death. A lifelong lover of the strange and the tender, Joyce once collaborated with Ray Bradbury on a stage adaptation, & her short fiction has been recognized by Vocal.Media and 3Elements Literary Review. She’s also a professional coach who helps people navigate life’s plot twists with humor and heart.

Her novel, A Tale for the Shadows is a darkly romantic supernatural fantasy about second chances, found family, and choosing love beyond death. Murdered by the man she loved, Senka is trapped as a ghost in the cabin where she died—until a wounded vampire, a mysterious cat, and a night of fire set her free. Once a rising TV star, Senka forms an unlikely alliance with Silas, an ancient vampire hunted by his own kind. As they seek justice for Senka and others wronged by the shadows, love begins to stir—but trusting again may be the greatest risk of all.
