Ep 97: Exploring Minnesota with Author Brittney Joy

In our latest episode, we journeyed to Minnesota with author Brittney Joy to explore her sweet romance series set in the charming town of Maple Bay.

In her Maple Bay series, Brittney takes us on a heartwarming journey filled with small-town charm, cowboy heroes, and the joy of family traditions.

Meet Brittney Joy

author Brittney Joy

Cowboy boots have always been Brittney’s shoe of choice. An animal lover to the core, her parents didn’t know what they were signing up for when they put her in a summer horse camp at the age of ten. She was hooked. The horse bug bit her. Hard.

Horses quickly became her true passion. At twelve Brittney started working at a local stable, cleaning stalls and leading trail rides. At thirteen her parents finally broke down and bought her a horse – a spunky bay grade mare named Austie. Brittney grew up on Austie’s back and, when it came time to go to college, she packed her mare along too.

Brittney and her family now live in their own piece of heaven in the Oregon countryside. They stay busy with their menagerie of silly horses, cackling chickens, two naughty goats, one scheming cat, and an unbelievably adorable doggie (& a pack of grand-dogs). When Brittney isn’t writing, she’s riding or reading. And she wishes she could do all three at the same time.
