About the Author
A theatre kid at heart, Joey earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Victoria in 2013, where she first discovered her passion for storytelling through writing scripts and scenes for class. During this time, she wrote her first novella, Marbles, which she published in 2015 under her maiden name Joey Baumgartel. Today, Joey works as a registered sign language interpreter, advocating for underrepresented communities. As the mother of a spirited four-year-old daughter, she is especially driven to create strong, empowering female characters—ones her daughter can look up to and be inspired by. She currently lives with her husband and daughter in Canada.
