Early Years

Joseph, who was known in his early years as Eddie grew up playing baseball with his younger brother. He also studied martial arts and loved riding dirt bikes.  

When he wasn’t being a daredevil he could be found in Newnan’s  fabulous Court Square, sitting on the wraparound porch of the courthouse playing checkers with the older men of the town. 

He never won a game but loved listening to the stories those wise men told of war, politics, love, broken hearts, and ghosts. 

Those men taught Joseph that the truth is sometimes too unreal to believe, and in that case you improvise. Joseph soon acquired a knack for spinning tall tales that are more believable than the truth.

In 1977 Joseph suffered a horrific motorcycle wreck. This sidelined his aspirations of serving in the military, his education and put an end to the baseball career he dreamed of.

Joseph began to pen tales about any and everything while recovering from the accident. 

The Adult Years

Between the years of 1987 - 1998 Joseph was married and divorced three times. He has six wonderful kids, three boys and three girls. All six have grown up to be outstanding young men and women.

Before pursing his passion for writing professionally, Joseph worked in the field of Engineering for 30 plus years. During those years he was issued a DOD Top Secret Clearance and was responsible for several patents. 

Joseph retired in 2014 due to health issues.
