Online Pitch
Josh is still fairly new to pursuing traditional publication and has outlines for several multi-books stories that span multiple genres. From a steampunk wild west mashup involving a Triad-esque crime syndicate crossing the paths of railway tycoons, to a star-crossing YA science fiction tale of three children who find themselves orphaned and light years from anyone who knows what really happened to their parents. Josh’s true passion is for epic fantasy.
He is currently working on self-publishing two projects. The first is a compilation of various flash fiction and short stories, while the second is a themed collection taking stories from the Bible and putting them into speculative worlds. Mad Max meets Noah, Jonah and the Black Hole, Jael: Vampire huntress. Look for these books to be released in 2018.
