Raised in the central Mississippi town of Kosciusko, Joy’s great-grandfather, Wiley Sanders, started the town’s only newspaper - The Star Herald. This paper remained in her family for generations and today is still the only paper in the town.
Joy’s first writing experience came when she was in junior high and high school, writing a column called “Jumping With Joy” that she wrote for The Star Herald which at this time was being run by her father, Billy McMillan.
She is former newspaper reporter and photographer with daily newspapers across the south, such as the Mobile Press Register of Mobile, Alabama; the Mississippi Press Register of Pascagoula, Mississippi and the Hattiesburg American of Hattiesburg, Mississippi.
Joy also wrote for the weekly newspaper in the ‘70’s and’80’s, the George County Times in Lucedale, Mississippi under the name of Joy Hall. While at the George County Times, Joy won several Mississippi Press Women’s Awards.
She also served as Public Relations Director for the George County Hospital in Lucedale during this period and freelanced to several national publications such as
Women’s World and the National Enquirer.
She now lives in Tarboro, North Carolina with her significant other, musician Ben Windley, and her miniature Boston Terrier, Buster.
Joy hopes you will enjoy this story of former Playboy Bunny, Betty Miller, as much as she did writing it. It is a fascinating story of a woman who has led a most unusual life and overcome many storms in her life.weniger sehen
