Location Central, FL, United States
Introduction I am a retired middle-school teacher. I am a published writer. My work has appeared both in print and online.
Interests Check out my writing blog at: joyackley.wordpress.com
Favorite Movies Old black and white movies, light comedy, romance, some thrillers (if not too gory)
Favorite Music Classical, Easy Listening, Aaron Neville, Pink Floyd, jazz. My new love is Joshua Ledet from American Idol, Season 11.
Favorite Books Too numerous to name. I like Janet Evanowich's Stephanie Plum series, and I like Jonathan Kellerman. I like thrillers and myseries. Mary Higgins Clark is a favorite. Of late, I have enjoyed Maeve Binchy's novels. I also like Patricia Cornwell's Kay Scarpetta series. Sometimes I'll have a hankering to put aside the edgy stuff and read old-fashioned novels by Grace Livingston Hill.

Try making up the rules to a game where you tie knots in a yo-yo string just to see if you can get them out:

1. Level one: 10 knots to a string. 2. Level two: 20-30 knots to a string 3. Level three: Unlimited knows to a string 4. No cussing or swearing while playing Level 3. 5. If played for competition, all players must agree upon a time limit for each level. The winner will receive a new yo-yo.
