ⓘ About Joy Ellis
Afterward, it contributed to lead Ms. Ellis in her desire to fulfill her dreams by opening a floral shop of her own in the English area of Weybridge. It was years after she worked as a floral shop owner that she developed M.E., myalgic encephalomyelitis, or more commonly known as chronic fatigue syndrome. That diagnosis of M.E. was the beginning of her health decline. That medical situation was just a part of the decision to close her florist business. In addition to her faltering health, there was a downward spiral of the economic recession in the 1980’s that forced her to close her floral shop and that chapter of her life. But it was just a new door for Ms. Ellis to open as she moved toward a future with an active literary career in the crime thriller genre.
