Joshua E. B. Smith is a dark fantasy/fantasy horror author responsible for the Saga of the Dead Men Walking, and at current, has published three novels, three novellas, and one short story in the series. His library of works includes Snowflakes in Summer, Dead Men in Winter, Slag Harbor, Favorite Things, Claw Unsheathed, Blindsided, and Fearmonger. In addition to writing, Joshua spends a lot of time working with the local cosplay community to find ways to bring characters to life both on and off of the written page. When he's not typing away at his keyboard or delving into the contents of one of his binders, you can often find him at conventions and festivals all over West Virginia, Ohio, and northern Kentucky dressed up as a Ghostbuster, a member of the Men in Black, or even the iconic David S. Pumpkins – but in any costume, he's finding ways to raise funds to support several different charity organizations in WV. Before publishing, Joshua was born in the early 80's and grew up with some of the greatest movies and cultural icons paving the way for his creativity. A massive fan of all things Ghostbusters, Star Wars, the Belgariad, and lucky enough to being born into the video game cultural revolution, he was constantly exposed to new sources and methods of storytelling from the very beginning. Later in life, he attended college at West Virginia University at Parkersburg while largely serving as a stay-at-home caretaker for his grandmother and then later, his mother. A graduate of WVU-P's business division, Joshua holds a bachelor's in Business Administration and a certificate in Logistical Competency. Sadly, as magic and fantasy have little to do with either field, the degrees are still sitting somewhere in a safe while he has devoted his life to writing, publishing, and creating new worlds.
