About Me

Joe has published many books and is excited to begin a new journey with you. He writes young adult horror, young adult LGBTQIA action and romance, and adult horror. 

SINGLETS AND SECRETS can be ordered from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or request at your favorite local bookseller. Joe describes Singlets and Secrets as an unapologetically gay karate kid or queer Cobra Kai story. It's a crane kick to homophobia!
