Dorothy Joan Riley is an artist, writer and retired Clinical Social Worker. Before taking up brush and pen, she worked for several decades in the child abuse field. This helped to shape her understanding of broken lives and fractured families. From these, and from her personal experiences as a young girl living in Kentucky during the early 1960’s, Riley crafted her first novel, “The Purging of Monica Campbell”.
Riley serves as an award-winning editor within a national volunteer organization. Her artwork can be found in various collections including the West Virginia Division of Culture and History Museum and the Coast Guard Fine Art collection.
