- About Me
- I'm one of those schizophrenic artists who couldn't make up his mind which art to focus on. I went to college on a fine arts scholarship, yet spent a lot of my time playing the guitar, writing songs and performing with a band. I won the KFC songwriting contest while in college, and no, I wasn't writing jingles about chicken. I also won a battle of the bands.
To support my artistic pursuits, I took time off from college and worked in the oil fields of Wyoming, where I met some interesting characters that I could draw upon in my writing. I also spent a few years with a dance group, touring Canada and Europe.
After receiving my English degree, I went to work as a technical writer for Thiokol, the manufacturer of space shuttle rocket boosters. Yes, they're the ones responsible for the 1986 Challenger disaster, but that was before I worked for them.
I later taught English in Honolulu, Hawaii, and Berkeley, California. During this time, I began focusing seriously on my writing. If you haven't read my novel, shame on you, but you still have a chance to redeem yourself. Please, take some time to read a few chapters at www.joebrightbooks.com
- My Work
- A young university student from Boston takes on the summer job, in a small rural town, of clearing the accumulated rubbish from the house and garden of an elderly man, George O’Brien, and his granddaughter, Candice. The task is not as straightforward as he at first thought and Mitchell finds himself drawn into the mystery surrounding the Black Garden and the lives of his employers.
Can he solve the secret behind the animosity of the townspeople? Can he do so without endangering George’s freedom and leaving Candice even more isolated?
