JOSHUA VALDEZ CAN USUALLY BE FOUND EXPLORING THE SPARKLING GEM OF FLORIDA'S GULF COAST. WRITING A COMICAL NOVELLA WAS ON HIS QUARANTINE BUCKET LIST, AND EVENTUALLY WITH, "FALLING IN LOVE IN THE BURG," IT BECAME A REALITY. HIS LATEST WORK IS THE NEW SERIAL NOVELLA, "YOU DIDN'T HEAR THIS FROM ME". WHEN NOT ABSORBED IN ADVENTURE, JOSHUA LOVES MAKING PASTA FROM SCRATCH, PAINTING, AND SPENDING WAY TOO MUCH TIME SCROLLING FOR A SHOW TO WATCH. HE LIVES IN ST. PETERSBURG, FL., WITH HIS HUSBAND AND CAT.
