Joy Don Baker

A registered nurse and progressing into administrative roles, Baker learned early that communications through writing were essential. One of her first writing opportunities was through volunteer service in the AORN (perioperative nurses) when committees reported, via the AORN Journal, results from the action taken or needed to be taken by the membership. Joy Don became the Editor-in-Chief of the AORN Journal in 2012 and served in that role until she and Terri Goodman began to write their first novel. They have also written an award winning non-fiction called A, B, & Cs of Author partnering.
