Hi, I’m Joe, and I like to tell stories. In fact, I have found I kinda, sorta can’t stop writing…
I’ve been reading classic fantasy fiction since I was a small child, became obsessed with the idea of writing a novel as a teenager, learned how to write a novel in my 20s, and then wrote a couple dozen novels in my 30s.
Then I got bitten by the D&D bug. I started playing, then running, and finally writing RPG adventures in 2018. It has been a wonderful hobby that has given me countless hours of excitement and fun, as well as introduced me to some amazing communities of creators, artists, writers, and publishers.
I also have a regular job as a technical writer, a very patient and supportive wife, two delightful daughters, and three questionable cats.
Here is some stuff that I like, in no particular order:
