Joel Preston
Currently, Joel lives and works in tropical North Queensland, fresh from moving out of the Australian Outback.Prior to his adventure into the heart of Australia, Joel had an exciting and varied range of jobs, all of which provide an endless pool of information for his novels. After completing a degree in multimedia journalism in Townsville, North Queensland, he hung around university for another year to manage the on-campus night club. After that, life grew a bit less exciting as his hunt for a full time job led him into a couple of years of mundane work. Yet, it all turned around when he applied to be an English teacher in Japan.Moving to Japan showed him a whole new way to live. While it was only for a short period, the experience would have a profound impact. All of sudden, chasing opportunities wasn’t such an easy idea to dismiss.When he returned from Japan, he applied for an exciting government job. He worked at Cairns airport while he underwent test after test until at last he was accepted. And after his training, where did he get sent? Back to the desert where he was born.Outside of work, Joel is a passionate amateur snowboarder, whose main barrier to improvement is what he calls ‘the fear of death’.He also travels frequently, having a few big hikes under his belt. Namely that of summiting Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa and reaching Everest Base Camp in Nepal. His favourite place in the world is Japan, where he tried to get to every year (when life allows it).Joel is also a big nerd, indulging in many things of that persuasion. He loves the Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter (saying without shame that he has read each book over twenty times each).Joel hopes you enjoy his novels and promises there are bigger and better stories still to come.
