Joy Ross Davis is of Irish descent and a student of the lore and magic found in the back hills of Tennessee where many of her Irish ancestors settled upon coming to America. After a twenty-five-year career as a college English professor, she retired from teaching and followed her dream of going to Ireland. As it happened, she was offered a “summer of work” as a writer and photographer at an Irish travel agency where she wrote and published numerous articles and photos designed for first-time American visitors to Ireland. She has been a contributing feature writer for a local newspaper and has published articles in Southern literary magazines. She lives in Alabama with her sons and beloved rescue dogs. She loves to speak at conferences, book club meetings, and events to share the stories behind her books.
