Joseph Gleason

Born and raised on a small farm in the little town of Olalla, my upbringing had me surrounded by hard work and a multitude of personalities. Both of my parents are a part of AA and used our house as a place to help struggling addicts regain their independence. Growing up in such a different household always gave me a very unique way of thinking and view on life and its struggles. From a young age I was always interested in getting lost in the worlds that books and video games took me. As an adult I married a lovely woman who challenges me and supports my dreams in a way that I would likely be lost without. While going through a major reading resurgence years ago, I felt the pull to challenge myself in writing a novel. This challenge turned into something I now feel very passionately about and continue with on a daily basis.
