James Joseph grew up in Rhode Island, mostly working hard physical labor jobs, but always the aspiring writer. He majored in English at RIC, and wrote for years in his spare time, always looking for that perfect story. In the meantime, he worked as a laborer on the railroad, a mason tender, and even a truck driver. A college English background just didn't pay.
When he
moved to Maine he became an editor at Fox
Maple Press, writing and editing articles and
reviews about natural building methods and
timber framing for Joiner's Quarterly.
He co-wrote The Alternative Building
SourceBook: Traditional, Natural and Sustainable
Building Products and Services. He's been a
member of The Maine Writers and Publishers
Alliance for 8 years and attended many of their
events and seminars. James is also the
webmaster for Biddle Publishing & Audenreed
Press, among several other sites, and is currently working on the sequel to
Shadow of the Serpent.
He now resides in the scenic foothills of Western
Maine.
