In 2018, he put his creativity to work in the form of fiction with the publication of two novels. Sands of Time, A Flight of Discovery and Search for Meanings of Time touches on subjects ranging from the geology of the Colorado Plateau, quantum physics, time travel, Apache culture, spirituality, and otherworldly advanced life forms. This search for the meaning of an earth-shattering discovery raises questions about our very existence and life on earth.

Tales of Ravens Nest, A Life, A Place: Stories and Reflections is a collection of short stories tied together to read like a novel. They are a combination of fictionalized autobiographic experiences as well as personal philosophies and environmentally oriented stories.

After a career as a land manager across the West with the U.S. Forest Service, Joseph and artist wife Katherine now own and operate Colwell Cedars Retreat on 40 acres of juniper forest overlooking the North Fork Gunnison River in western Colorado. They teach art and nature related lifestyles.

Joseph believes we are losing touch with nature and is trying to relay his environmental philosophy in his writing. With literary idols such as John Muir, Aldo Leopold, Sigurd Olson, Joseph tries to convey the meanings of nature and our place in it. “We need to be aware of the life that surrounds us, the history of the land itself, and our responsibility to the future.”
