Jamaican native Joyce M. Johnson spent her formative years in the rugged confines of nature with quasi-feral fortitude to aid and abet her survival there. For over forty years now, she has called Canada home, where she has enjoyed such opportunity availed to her for secondary and postsecondary education. Joyce has led a long and checkered career as a main-frame computer operator and programmer beginning at Dover Elevator and growing into professional independence as CEO of Johnson Productions. Owed to her creative writing studies at Seneca College in Toronto and treasure exposure courtesy of CBC, Toronto, the scribal bug had already bitten and seduced her into the world of penmanship where she has fortitude and emergence as a narrator for substance in content and conviction. Canadian living no doubt has had reaching influence on Joyce's sociology as a woman of color, abuse survivor, and God-fearing visionary. Her personal evolution is inspired with evidenced experience. She writes with generous measures of compassion for and commitment to universal humanity. Her pen plots with unique rhythm and richness that has come to define and endear her to an increasing readership with the quickening of enlightenment. Her mind is weighted by unbridled intuiting; these seed thoughts steep in the perceptive fertility of her cradling gray matter, which nourishes these precious germs of mischief. Inflicted by their immediacy and threat in mental filtration and afflicted by a disquiet in their traded trauma of virtual victory, Joyce's captive consumer would've reserved the benefit of a swift recovery . . . or so it is hoped. Without objection, Joyce extends her pen to all who are constituted for the rigor of her now-respected lushness of emotions, unrepentant rawness of her experiential reality, richness in reveries, wealth to call your own, the refreshing of life you may have lived/seen lived and/or to live in the true worth of human messaging toward the expansion of self in the framework of the human family. Her first novel is Henrietha, which has proven to be a strong beginner. Joyce says, "This is an exciting beginning to my writing career because I do feel this is where my calling lies. Henrietha covers two novellas, Henrietha and Waiting for the World to Change. It embodies the indomitability of cosmic spirits that inhabit and influence all." The audio script has been aired in part on CBC radio, and the work is poised to survive time as Joyce's personal treatment of a core of social issues that keep cropping up. Currently, Joyce is composing a sequel to "Henrietha" amongst other literary compositions, which include an anthology of poems.
