edit data

Growing up, Joshua had a very active imagination, creating different worlds and stories in his head. Deciding to write down his many ideas, Joshua filled and sometimes completed small works and short stories that would eventually lead him to pursue being an author one day.

Finding a similar passion in both his Christian beliefs and history, Joshua began crafting stories from these parts of his life; eventually coming to the conclusion to put both together and craft new and rich stories that he hopes captivates readers the same way the likes of Ted Dekker, Joseph F. Girzone and those like Rick Riordan captured his imagination at a young age.
