Joyce Mason

Bio

JOYCE MASON has been typing a storm since finding her first pen pal at age ten. Back then on her manual typewriter and now on her laptop, she clicks out observations about human nature. Flashes of insight and strange coincidences have always whispered to her loudly: There's more going on in life than meets the eye. She recently completed her first book, a memoir called Hot Flashbacks, Cool Insights. She has a baby boomer blog of the same name. Joyce is well-prepared for writing about her own life with an eye toward helping others, thanks to her background as an astrologer, metaphysical consultant, and social worker. For 20 years, she has been writing groundbreaking articles on astrology, dreamwork, and various facets of spirituality. She gave one-on-one consultations for years using these tools in her practice, Inner Growth Work. In March 2009, Joyce returned to her starry roots by launching a blog named after one of her best-known articles, The Radical Virgo. Then there was her day job! Retired in 2005 after 31 years of civil service with the State of California, primarily in recycling and other environmental programs, Joyce now has the time to devote to her first love, writing. Her passion is connection. With today's Internet tools, her early love of "pen pals" has expanded to global proportions! She has remained close to one of her original pals since 1959.
