Welcome! I'm a history teacher, follower of Jesus, and science fiction writer. If you're into dueling tournaments, mysteries, and speculative fiction, maybe you've come to the right place.

I try to write fast-paced, character-centered fiction. It's what I love. Hopefully, I've done that with my first book, the Awakening.

The rest of the series is a work in progress, so stay tuned for more! ...more

Quotes by Joshua Kapusinski (?)

“How do you tell a lie to the most powerful man in the world? He thought. It was simple. You tell the truth. Then you bend it to your will. Truth is the molten steel. The lie is the
shape of the sword. And all swords have a destination. They are forged to pierce
hearts.”
― Joshua Kapusinski, The Awakening
