Joyce Dingwell, née Enid Joyce Owen Starr (1909 in City of Ryde, Sydney, Australia – 2 August 1997 in Kincumber, Sydney), an Australian writer of more than 80 romance novels at Mills & Boon from 1931 to 1986, who also wrote under the pseudonym of Kate Starr. Her novel The House in the Timberwoods (1959), had been made into a motion picture: The Winds of Jarrah (1983).^[1]

She was born Enid Joyce Owen Starr on 1909 in City of Ryde, New South Wales, Australia.^[2][3] She was the first Australian writer, who lived in Australia, to be published by Mills & Boon.

My romance writing began with an avid romance-reading mother who devoured so many romances each week that I decide to save library trips by supplementing the supply myself.
