Hi.

I’m Josh. A writer based in southern Ohio.
The picture up there with the birdhouse was taken in my side yard. The one down below with the sunrise on the horizon is from US 52 somewhere between my house and the West Virginia border. Central Appalachia really is a beautiful place to live. 
"If the meaning of life could be put into a sentence there would be no need of telling the story."
~ Henry Van Dyke

Why I write

Human beings are storytellers; this seems to be the primary way we make sense of the world and our place within it. This is essentially why I write. In the words of Elie Wiesel, ​“I write to understand as much as to be understood.”
To break it down a little more, I write mostly to express myself and to teach. Usually, this takes the form of narrative non-fiction. Underneath all my writing is an insatiable drive to create meaning both for myself and for the world. ​
