Joyce Elwood-Smith  

Christchurch born and bred, Joyce Elwood-Smith has had poems and short stories, including
flash fiction published. She also writes an occasional blog on Happyzine.co.nz and has had successes in poetry and haiku competitions.
The Christchurch earthquake in 2011 changed her life, and although missing the big Canterbury sky and brilliant sunsets she is now settled in Picton, where views of the marina and bush clad hills are very conducive to writing.
