joel rieves

Joel was born and raised in the North Carolina Piedmont, acquiring quite a few interesting traits, including an excellent (if somewhat dark and snarky) sense of humor, a healthy disrespect for authority and the inability to know when to shut up. Retiring after 22 years as a firefighter, he realized his debt profile wasn’t diverse enough and resumed his education at GTCC with the intention of transferring to UNC Greensboro for an English degree, all in the hope of pursuing his lifelong dream to become a writer. The stories contained in this volume are his first published work.
