More About the Author … Joseph McCarthy has been writing and illustrating since a very young age. He loves to write and draw a variety of story types. At the age of fourteen, Joseph took his writing to the next level; using his imagination and research skills to create exciting stories.

After publishing his stories, he realized that if you truly believe in yourself anything can happen.
2. What inspires you to write?
What inspires me to write is my friends and family because they will always be there for me with my writing. Reading also inspires me to write.
I like to read too, Joe! -VW
3. Do you prefer to write in silence or while listening to music?
I definitely listen to music while I am writing.
So do I Joe, as long as it is soothing–and not too loud! -VW
4. What time of the day do you find yourself writing the most?
I usually write at night because that’s when I am least bothered. Night is when my imagination works the best.
Theses days, for me, it is whenever my mood strikes me! -VW

Comments are now open!
I would love to know if Joe has had any people thinking he wrote about them and if so what happened. Does Joe dream about these books.
Joe is an inspiration to countless young people and old who may have doubts about the incredible possibilities in going into business as a writer for oneself today. So far as I am concerned Indie authorship and Kindle ebooks is where great things are happening and one of these is Joe McCarthy!
Great question, Pat!! Let’s hope that Joe will answer that! -Virginia Wright
