I'm BLESSEDselling author, E. N. Joy, the writer behind the five book series, “New Day Divas,” coined the “Soap Opera In Print.” Formerly writing secular works under the names Joylynn M. Jossel and JOY, I'm an award winning who has been sharing my literary expertise on conference panels in my home town of Columbus, Ohio as well as cities across the country.

After thirteen years of being a paralegal in the insurance industry, I divorced my career and married my mistress and passion; writing. In 2000, I formed my own publishing company, END OF THE RAINBOW projects, where I published my own works until landing a book deal with a major publisher. Under End of the Rainbow, I have published New York Times and Essence Magazine Bestselling authors in the “Sinner Series,” in which the current releases are Even Sinners Have Souls (Book 1) and Even Sinners Have Souls TOO (Book 2).

In 2004, I branched off into the business of literary consulting in which I provide one-on-one consulting and literary services such as ghost writing, editing, professional read-throughs, write behinds, etc… My clients consist of first time authors, Essence Magazine bestselling authors, New York Times bestselling authors, and entertainers.

Not forsaking my first and true love, poetry, in which I published two works of poetry titled Please Tell Me If the Grass is Greener and World On My Shoulders, I plan to turn my focus back to poetry one day. Needless to say, I no longer pen street lit (in which two of my titles, If I Ruled the World and Dollar Bill, made the Essence Magazine bestsellers list. Dollar Bill was also translated to Japanese. I will no longer be penning erotica or adult contemporary fiction either, in which one of my titles earned the Borders bestselling African American romance award at the Romance Writers of America National Conference. Instead, under the name E.N. Joy, I pen adult Christian fiction, and under the name N. Joy I pen children’s and young adult titles. My children’s story, The Secret Olivia Told Me, received the American Library Association Coretta Scott King Honor. Book club rights have also been purchased by Scholastic and the book is on tour at Scholastic Book Fairs in schools across the country. Elementary and middle school children have fallen in love with reading and creative writing as a result of the readings and workshops I instruct in schools across the country.

Currently, I am the executive editor for Urban Christian, in which the titles are distributed by Kensington Publishing Corporation out of New York. When I'm not adding my two cents to other authors’ works, I'm diligently working on my own. My latest project, the “New Day Divas” series, is taking the literary world by storm. Book one of the series, She Who Finds A Husband and Book two, Been There Prayed That, are currently dominating book stores and libraries all over the country. I am certain this project is the one that is going to afford me the title of New York Times Bestselling Author. Until then, I don't mind the title of BLESSEDselling author.
