The Journal is Tiffany Joans’s debut novel. She just completed an MFA in Creative Writing at Rosemont College in Pennsylvania. At a young age, she would often daydream in school and was usually caught looking out the window. As a child, her favorite place to read was in a window seat with a view of her mother’s flower gardens. She would hide behind the damask curtain so no one could find her secretly reading instead of doing chores. She currently works in the publishing industry. She lives in Southern New Jersey with her family.
