Joshua Hodge broke into the literary scene as a seven-year-old reading his story Sam’s Hair on PBS’ Reading Rainbow. As a high school student, Joshua published his debut novel Wild Christmas in 2006 and created a short story Pixie Chase for Scholastic Inc. In reference to his new work, Joshua said, “I am excited to be able to immerse you in the suspense and beauty of a place I have spent so long in and finally introduce you to some characters who have grown dear to me.” Although a Chicago native, Joshua presently resides in Danville, Kentucky where he teaches Spanish for the local county. Literacy is a big part of his career. He likes to teach with stories and encourage students to look at language in new ways. Joshua is a graduate of Asbury University.
