Joy Martin
One of Ireland’s first female news journalists, Joy Martin was born in Limerick, and has reported for newspapers and radio stations based out of Dublin, Lusaka, Johannesburg, and London.
Her first book, Twelve Shades of Black, was awarded the runner-up prize for the South Africa Literary Award.
Martin’s novels, inspired by her homeland, are a blend of historical fiction and mystery. Deeply researched, each story holds a mirror to times past, exploring sectarianism, power dynamics, and family feuds. By weaving true events with imaginative storytelling, Martin introduces readers to a new image of Ireland.
Joy Martin lives in Capbreton, South West France.
