Joe has co-written DARK TUNES and reaction from the pre-readers is effusive and glowing!
Three young members of a newly formed band arrive in St. Louis Missouri from the east coast. Quickly making friends, they find an old, unused school where they rent a makeshift apartment and space to practice their music.
When one of the band members learns of disturbing activities in the neighborhood around the school, and suspenseful characters emerge seemingly at every turn, we wonder just how much danger this represents for the band.
Joe’s love of writing began when his children were young. At bedtime he told them “two-word stories.” They each provided one word and Joe created an adventure in which those two words appeared. Joe created a new story every night for them, and he did the same occasionally for their visiting friends or on long trips. Joe found he couldn’t keep track of the details in these stories over time. This prompted him to begin writing them down. By the time they had outgrown bedtime stories, Joe was finding he was hooked on writing.
Housewarming Gift was his first short story, and is a good example of Joe’s suspenseful characters. As you will see, sometimes his suspenseful characters are not even living creatures. A new homeowner is delighted to find a jigsaw puzzle left by the previous owner, but soon finds it is not simply a puzzle. Other suspenseful and supernatural stories followed and several are available as Ebooks. All Joe’s current offerings and upcoming works are described in more detail and can be purchased on the Books page.
