Dear Readers,

On this page you will find a selection of books that will entertain and enlighten you. Enjoy!
All the best, PatZi (with a Z!)
Lawrence Block has been a good friend to Joy on Paper.
It has been an honor to interview him for his books–including the wonderful anthologies that he has curated. On of my favorites is In Sunlight & in Shadow, stories inspired by the paintings of Edward Hopper.
Delia Ephron, a bestselling NYT author is a also a screenwriter. Her films include You’ve Got Mail and The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. In Siracusa she is a rather dark look at marriage set in the unusual city in Sicily.
One of the best four-person narrations of a book–the narrators capture the characters. It’s like watching a movie.
My Life in Full is written and perfectly narrated by Indra Nooyi, the former CEO of PepsiCo. Not many business memoirs make you laugh and crym but I had tears in my eyes when she wrote about her mother. A valuable book that gives insights into the struggles and incredible joys the first woman of color to head a major US corporation.
The Last Mona Lisa by Jonathan Santlofer is a dual time–Paris of today and the Paris of 1900s when the Mona Lisa was stolen from the Louvre Museum. A tense thriller by the award-winning crime writer.
When they make the movie in Paris I am going to go and watch!
Cyrus Freidheim has written a book every young person just beginning their career needs. One of the crucial keys to success is insider advice. The good news? Here it is in an easy and fun book from the author of The Trillion-Dollar Enterprise, and former head of Booz, Allen & Hamilton where I got my first corporate job. Love this book!

Just don’t write 561,304 — that’s how many words are in Tolstoy’s War & Peace!
We hope to add more markets to reach even more readers. Ask your local radio station if they want to carry us. Meanwhile, you can listen to Joy on Paper on your phone, tablet, or computer by using TuneIn.
We are about to celebrate the 8th Anniversary of Joy on Paper. During these years I have interviewed 12 Mystery Writer of America Grand Master, dozens of Global Bestselling Authors, over 300 NYT bestselling authors, dozens of celebrities and American heroes. I even interviewed the US Poet Laureate! I love them all!
I started reading at the age of two–Beatrix Potter the author of Peter Rabbit started at three!
Before I started Joy on Paper I had read over 10,000 books! Since then I have added another thousand or so.
Yes, I love to interview Indie authors. Just contact us.
