Joyce Zeller’s  Love in a Small Town addresses adult, parental and teenage issues, along with all their nuances: how single, adult parents have intimate relationships and how traumas from the past effect their solidity, teen sex and drugs, peer pressure, abuse and, on top of it all, adapting to a whole new life. Zeller touches the hearts of everyone, especially those of us who thought they would never experience unconditional love. Published by Rogue Phoenix Press www.roguephoenixpress.com (release 2015).

When Chicagoan, David Martin, moves to Eureka Springs with his step-daughter, he is escaping urban America and all its violence, as well as memories of his deceased wife. A marriage of convenience ended in tragedy and left him to raise a fifteen-year-old daughter whom he has only known for two years. Both father and daughter are testing foreign waters: new home, school and work. Neither expected it, but where there is a will, there is love in a small town.

“I’ve wanted to be a writer since the first day I learned to read. Luckily, I’ve had many mentors who were willing to teach me, and I listened.  I’ve written six books, published five: The Hidden History of Eureka Springs (The History Press, 2011), Accidental Alien (Published by Joyce Zeller, 2012), short story “Love is a Seed” is featured in Embrace: A Romance Collection (Goldmine Press, 2012), Christmas for Annabel (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform; 2014) and Maddie’s Choice (Coffeetown Press, 2013) a romance with her favorite theme, “that being human is a lonely business, but for everyone there is somebody to love. It’s a matter of finding them.” There will always be kids and animals in her books, and always, humor, “…because life without humor is unthinkable.”

Zeller has also written The Haunting of Aaron House (available for acquisition) set in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, a place where ghosts, witchcraft and the paranormal are part of the local culture. Her latest achievement was being elected as Alderman to the Eureka Springs City Council.
