About the Author
Joy Lantana writes about the moments where ordinary life tilts into something unexpectedly intense. She’s drawn to the peculiar corners of human experience, questions of faith, legacy, and the choices we make when what we believe collides with what we desire. Her stories often begin with a single image, a fragment of history, or a rhythm in the natural world that won’t let go, and she follows it wherever it leads.
Her writing routine isn’t dramatic or ritualized; most mornings begin with coffee and a notebook, jotting down whatever lingers in her mind, including half-formed ideas and off-kilter details. She reads widely, not so much for research as for curiosity, noticing the small textures in people, places, and language that slip into her work.

About The Book
The Crimson Harvest unfolds in the Rhône Valley, on land that remembers every footstep, every offering, every secret. The Duval vineyard was once tended like a prayer until devotion faded and something older woke beneath the soil.
When Fabienne Duval is attacked under a blood-red moon, she rises changed. Colors sharpen. Hunger shifts. The vineyard she once loved now hums with a rhythm that feels disturbingly familiar. Across the valley, her childhood friend Pasquale wrestles with the same unspoken transformation, torn between faith and the echo of Fabienne’s heartbeat he can’t ignore.
