“Stories are my precious treasures,” Joycebelle states. “My aim in life is to help youth focus on good, learn to say, "I can," showcase their talents, including writing wonderful creative stories, and manifesting goodness in their lives and the world. How can we do this? Give kids good stories daily and share ideas, dreams, and goals with them.”

Joycebelle has lived a dream-filled life by many people’s standards. She has traveled the world, had as her playmates – adorable and playful sea otters, ancient manatees, and the shy but remarkable giant octopus and worked for herself most of her life. As a mother she managed to provide for her children but still attend all of their many activities. Her home was always open to children from tiny tots to teens.

“I thoroughly enjoyed being a mother even during my children’s teenage years,” she adds in retrospect. "And what I liked most was story time. I think I got that from my mother. From the time I can remember we enjoyed stories with her everyday.”

While Joycebelle was growing up there were no TVs, no computers, no iPods, not even tape recorders or talking books. Once she became computer literate in 1990 – writing stories became a passion of hers and has remained so ever since. She is a writer, publisher, consultant New York Times bestselling authors and producer of all types of information products.
