When Jack Was with Us
Urban realism in the tradition of E.L. Doctorow, William Kennedy, Philip Roth and Jimmy Breslin, "When Jack Was With Us" immerses the reader in neighborhood life in New York City from the late 1950's through the late 1960's. Unlike many other novels by Baby Boomers, this novel makes no attempt to sugarcoat or nostaligize; it presents life as the author saw it while growing up, in all its beauty and all its brutality. There is no single protagonist; a number of characters whose lives intertwine each seek to make the best out of their lives amid the rich and often volatile ethnic tapestry of New York, against the backdrop of social change as the novel moves from the somnolent 1950's through the turbulent 1960's. Each character struggles and finds his/her damnation or redemption amid a city that personifies a nation in flux. It is a "coming of age" not only for the characters but for the greater American collective psyche.
A Teen Marriage Circus
This is the true story of an American dreamer, a young man who envisioned at an early age the opportunities that citizenship could offer if applied correctly. His mother and father raised him and his five brothers in a loving, unified home, and with this strong foundation, he believed in the importance of a two-parent upbringing. A phone call from a scheming so-called best friend, and a mother intent on ridding herself of the burden of parenting a rebellious, immature daughter with serious behavioral issues, set off a series of events, that derailed this goal-oriented young man's path. A Teen Marriage Circus is based on the author's unimaginable true experience of being forced into a toxic relationship spanning over forty-seven years. This cautionary tale was written to help others recognize the red flags of manipulative behavior and avoid making the same mistakes.

Joyce Dunn reveals the life and times of a bigger-than-life character trying to shape the world and find her place in it.
