Joy used to have hobbies like sewing, oil painting, and making miniatures, but now she has a husband, infant son, and another child on the way, and would rather shower than sew at the moment. She previously worked at the American Enterprise Institute as assistant editor of its magazine; and in former days called herself a feminist and Libertarian, both of which she now considers silly. The Pullmanns live in Indiana. Joy’s personal blog is 1trueword.com. Joy is on Twitter at @JoyPullmann.
