Hi, there!

I'm Josiah, but feel free to call me Jo as it's closer to my real name. There aren't any novelist in my family tree that I know of so I'm not quite sure where I got my love for writing. 

We didn't exactly have a library at home when I was a kid, but I did have a soft spot for reading and I remember rereading most English and Science textbooks from elementary as past time and everything with words in it.   

My introduction to Wattpad happened in ninth grade, thanks to some classmates who were fans of Jonaxx.  I created this account in 2015. Before that, I read from downloaded ebooks just like the oldies here. 

Summer of 2016 I started writing on this platform using my phone. I can't recall which story I finished first, but they were RACE'S OBSESSION. HEARTLESS KIDNAPPER (now CAPTIVATED), INDEBTED, and LUCIFER'S HEAVEN. All of them found a new home on another platform now.  

Those stories didn't all reach "THE END" in the same year. Most took me a good 4 to 5 years. I'm still the same trying-hard aspiring writer who's only managed to physically publish RACE'S OBSESSION 1: HIS. And I'll forever be grateful to IMMAC for giving my young, hopeful writer heart that chance. 

I'm back writing here and even thought of creating a new account to write the hell I want in hopes of 'rebranding' lol. 

But, obviously, I used this account again when I realized some readers are actually waiting for me and I feel sad to start anew without them. Whether one or two readers waiting for me, I don't mind now. Numbers don't matter to me this time around and I'll just write whatever I want with the people who are glad to share this writing journey with me. 

None of here might interest you right now as I hardly finished anything yet but I hope that, in due time, I get to turn all the crazy ideas in my head into worthy-to-read books. 

So thank you SO MUCH for stopping by and reading my stories (and this rather boring lengthy intro) 

Lovelots, 
Josiah ❤❤❤
