Joy Slaughter

Joy spends too much time daydreaming. She has a stack of dusty degrees shoved in a closet somewhere, a strange mixture of emergency medicine, public health, psychology, philosophy, fine art photography, and perhaps nursing. She married Prince Charming, and they have seven phenomenal children. Her home is cleaned by woodland animals which explains the mess. She rode on ambulances and flew in helicopters and blew whistles telling people to walk, and sometimes she writes about that. She likes to sit by large windows and imagine strange worlds, and sometimes she writes about that, too. She has a black belt in taekwondo. Her third-favorite reptile is a gecko, and she hopes to one day sail with friendly pirates to the edge of the world. Until then, she is lurking in a hospital near you.
