About Joan Esser Author

Joan Esser Author

Growing up in New York City, I had trouble learning to read, until my father took me to the library and I got to pick out books with fabulous pictures and varied stories.  I set sail with Vikings and flew along the snow on a dog sled in the Klondike.  My reading improved dramatically and I soon began regular visits to the library that enabled me to happily spend hours in a different world.  Fascinated by books and their ability to take me away, reading ignited my imagination.  I often thought of more distinctive characters and alternate endings to the stories I read.  Inspired to write my own novels, I am now sharing them with everyone. 

I hope readers enjoy reading them since I had so much fun writing them.

I recently received this notice from the New Jersey Romance Writers' website: Congratulations!  Your story, The Marriage Matrix, has finaled in the NJ Romance Writers' 2024 Golden Leaf contest in the Best First Book category for a Mid-Length Contemporary.

Winners will be announced during the NJRW holiday party, date and time to be determined. In preparation, we need a few things from each of our finalists.
