There’s a lot to be said about the author\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026but not all of it is suitable for print. =p<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joshua was born in the Parkersburg, WV area in the early 1980’s, and while that’s been a horrible decision for all of those who’ve met him over the years, he’s happily been writing fantasy murder-books since he was in college. It wasn’t until around 2014 that he started to take the “writing” thing seriously, but since then, he’s been an avid content creator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joshua is an alum of West Virginia University at Parkersburg, and holds a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration as well as a certificate in logistics proficiency.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A writer and a cosplayer…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joshua is also a cosplayer for charity – and is a Ghostbuster at heart. Proudly serving as one of the two Co-Chairs of Cre8tive Cosplay of the Mid-Ohio Valley, and a member of the Ghostbusters – West Virginia Division, when he isn’t writing he’s busy dressing up and sponsoring charities that put food on the table of needy families in the area, or toys in the hands of children at Christmas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
