Len Joy had an idyllic childhood, growing up in the gem of the Finger Lakes, Canandaigua, New York. As a typical small-town boy, he had a wide range of interests, most involving sports. He lettered in four sports in high school and went off to the University of Rochester with dreams of becoming a football hero and world-famous novelist. When he awoke from those dreams, he switched his major from English to Finance and quit the football team, but started dating one of the cheerleaders. Three years later they were married, and four decades later, they still are. Len bought an engine remanufacturing company in Arizona and for fifteen years commuted to Phoenix. Despite the travel, he managed to stay married and have three kids. While flying, he read hundreds of novels, which renewed his dream of becoming a world-famous author. In 2004 he wound down his engine business and started taking writing courses and participating in triathlons. While world fame remains elusive, Len has made progress in his writing career. He has published six novels: AMERICAN JUKEBOX (2024) “A nostalgic masterpiece…” US REVIEW FREEDOM’S JUST ANOTHER WORD… (2023) “A compulsively readable novel that will be easy to devour in one marathon sitting.” — Kirkus Reviews, Star Review DRY HEAT (2022) “Dry Heat is a page turner with heart. A tale of star-crossed lovers…this smoothly written novel is full of friendship, family, and redemption.” — Nickolas Butler, author of Shotgun Lovesongs and Godspeed EVERYONE DIES FAMOUS (2020) Everyone dies famous is a story from the heartland about the uncommon lives of everyday people — the choices they make, how they live their lives, and how they die.
