Joan Hohl was born in the United States, June 13, 1935. She worked at several jobs, some sales clerking, but primarily factory work.

At 40, she began writing, and three years later she published her first novel. She is considered by many in the business a trailblazer in sensuous romance writing, and having been one of the first, if not the first, author to write male point of view in category romance novels.

Joan lived in eastern Pennsylvania, with her husband Marv; they had two daughters, Lori and Amy, and two grandchildren, Erica and Cammeron. She died on June 16, 2017, aged 82 in Pennsylvania.
