I’ve always dreamed of becoming an author, now I am one…
Here’s a longer, more official-sounding version, suitable for copying and pasting:
Joel E. Crosby was born in Germany and raised in the Netherlands, he was raised bilingually by an American father and a Dutch mother. He began writing before his age had double digits. When he’s not writing, he can be found glued to his laptop thinking about writing and obsessing over the sales of his stories. Joel is the author of Fly Away Hawk, Before I Catch You, and currently lives in Zwolle, the Netherlands, with his wife.
