Joseph has been writing since before he can remember. His first attempts at long prose were aged 15 and consisted of re-tellings of classic legends and fables, but he soon discovered he had his own stories to tell. He has published numerous novels, a collection, a handful of short stories and one piece of haunting fan-fiction. His great heroes include Stephen King, Hideo Kojima, Eric Van Lustbader, Mika Waltari, Harlan Ellison, J. R. R. Tolkien as well as classical poets such as Edmund Spenser and John Milton.
