His first novel, AMERICAN JUKEBOX, was published by Hark! New Era Publishing in April 2014. It was described by Kirkus Reviews as “a well-crafted novel and darkly nostalgic study of an American family through good times and bad.” Pamela Erens, (“The Virgins” and the just released “Eleven Hours”) wrote that, “Len Joy has an eye for the humble, utterly convincing details of family life. This is America seen neither through the gauze of nostalgia nor with easy cynicism but rather with a clear-eyed tenderness."
He is a nationally ranked age-group triathlete and is a member of TEAM USA which represents the USA in International triathlon and duathlon competition.
