Growing up with an older brother and sister and one younger sister, he got to experience the full joys of life in an Italian American family. When he was younger, Joseph was anything but a good writer. Despite this, he had a great interest in fantasy and enjoyed reading (just not required reading).Due to his interest in writing, Joseph became active in writing fantasy on a variety of websites and eventually decided to start his own novel based around characters he created as a child. Over time, the universe developed, and as Joseph matured, so did the world of Evorath. Through his time in high school and college, Joseph went from being a terrible writer to having impressive writing talent.More importantly, Joseph developed a powerful interest in politics and economics, and began studying philosophy from nearly every school of thought: capitalists, objectivists, communists, republicans, socialists, democrats; if it had anything to do with social philosophy, he wanted to know about it. Through this learning, he found that most of this philosophy was boring and generally couldn't hold reader's attention.With that in mind, Joseph came up with the idea of conveying his own message in a more creative format. Taking the characters and universe he had created, Joseph began crafting his stories to get a message across. Throughout Evorath, readers will encounter characters who are struggling with their own individuality and the demands of society, addressing these concepts in a way that people can really understand.Ultimately, Joseph Macolino wants Evorath to be the ultimate fantasy getaway for his readers, providing countless hours of reading pleasure.view less
