Author: Joshua Hall

Growing up as a child, Josh could never afford to buy gifts for his parents and siblings. So, he did the next best thing: write them short stories. As the years progressed, he never forgot his humble beginnings, continuing to write and develop his craft, even while graduating with a degree in Mathematics. With a first novel now near completion, and many short stories in tow, Josh continues to create whimsical stories that all can enjoy.
