Description

Mia is a precocious child with two loving parents. She lives in a wonderful, diverse, and colorful city surrounded by curious characters. Mia seems to have it all. Unfortunately, try as she might, little Mia is terribly shy and it can be a real hindrance for any child to find the confidence they need to tackle new, scary challenges, like school! Luckily for Mia, she has her best friend Cody, and inspiring teacher, Ms. Doodlebee to help bring her out of her shell, and show her that the world is a wonderful, inspiring place, brimming with adventure, and fun!

Author Bio

Kelli Joyner (also known as K. Joyner), graduated from the University of Michigan-Dearborn with a B.S. Degree in Industrial & Systems Engineering. In 2000, she retired as a Vice President (VP) of Industrial Engineering from a Fortune 500, Atlanta-based company. Problem-solving, effective leadership and strong written communications skills were the characteristics that set Kelli apart from her peers, resulting in eighteen years of VP-level experience during her thirty-six years in industrial engineering with the company. As a writer, she was drawn to great stories in both books and film as far back as she can remember and knew she wanted to pursue a writing career at some point.

Her first book, "Unimaginable Loss...Godly Transformation" was released in August of 2023. It is a memoir that recounts her childhood, her personal story of loss and includes a guided grief journal.

In 2024, Kelli wrote two novels that are currently awaiting representation and adapted one into a screenplay.

"I Don't Think So!" is Kelli's debut children's book. She plans to expand it into a series, focused on instilling positive social skills and self-confidence in young children, while igniting their imagination and sprinkling in a bit of humor.

In addition to writing, Kelli enjoys collecting miniature dollhouses and furniture, reading, traveling and having fun with her family.

Kelli resides in an Atlanta suburb, along with her husband. They have two young adult children who are both attending college.
