Fiction, Fantasy, Nonficiton and more with Storyteller joy E. Rancatore
Joy E. Rancatore writes fiction, nonfiction and everything in between. When she's not doing horrible things to her characters or dreaming up faery creatures and fantastic weapons, she beats her husband at card games, homeschools her two children, snuggles her two stinky dogs and lets her cat, Tolkien, do whatever he wants. They'd prefer to live in Middle-earth or Narnia or Hogwarts or in a galaxy far, far away; but, for now, they live across Lake Pontchartrain from New Orleans.
Her biggest writing accomplishment to date remains penning the cover story for the August 2003 issue of Leatherneck, Magazine of the Marines. It featured her brother, Justin.
“Words have built empires, articulated the deepest passions of the heart, defended beliefs and spread the power of dreams. Words hold great and lasting power.” - Joy E. Rancatore on the power of story
Short Stories, Novels, Speaking, Articles… Where do You Tell Your Story?
Joy says her favorite way to tell a story is written word. Specifically she loves building worlds through short stories. She says it’s a great way to see a story arc and get to know characters in a short amount of time, and it’s a great way to challenge herself as a writer.
“I just love a good short story. You can sit down and have this complete tale… the arc that you see and the characters you see in such short words is incredible to me as a reader. So it’s fun to try that as a writer.” - Joy E. Ranctatore on writing styles
