Author Information

Elvira draws her inspiration from the Bible, from nature and from her childhood experiences. When she is not writing or creating, Elvira loves spending time with her grand-children and great grand-children and sharing the Bible's message with others. It is her hope that the readers of this book find as much joy reading it as she did writing it. Joyce was born in 1953 in Birmingham, Alabama and grew up in Cleveland, Ohio. She is thankful for a strong and loving mother who instilled in her the value of hard work and honesty. After graduating high school, Joyce attended the University of Findlay (then known as Findlay College) from 1971 to 1975. Findlay is a Christian liberal arts institution known for cultivating innovative thinkers through a dedication to experiential learning, both in and outside the classroom. She pursued a psychology degree to better understand the correlation between the mind and behavior and learn how motivations influence human actions. After graduating, Joyce began a thirty-six-year career with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, working in multiple programs, such as mental health, public and environmental health, and, eventually, public administration. During this time, she recognized the need for additional training and entered a master's program in Health Services Administration at Central Michigan University. ""Throughout my journey"", she says, ""I've learned the importance of growth, resilience, and empathy. Most importantly, I studied and became a baptized follower of Jehovah God. This path has brought me more joy and purpose than any training course I have taken, and I hope it can inspire others as well."" Dawn is a fine artist who received her formal training at the Cleveland Institute of Art. From an early age, she demonstrated an affinity for art, and her artistic expression was encouraged by her parents who themselves possessed artistic talents. Throughout her career, Dawn has worked as a graphic and a visual artist in both the public and private sector and has collaborated with other artists on numerous projects. She currently teaches painting and ceramics and counts it as a blessing to be able to make a living doing something she loves and helping others to discover their own creative abilities. Though having a fulfilling career as an artist, Dawn's greatest joy comes from teaching people about the Bible and seeing their faces light up as they learn about its Author and the wonderful future he holds out to us. Dawn is honored to have a part in helping to bring ""A Dog and His Boy"" to life.
