Joe Harwell


Biography

I grew up in Poteau, OK and now live in Tulsa. My diverse work history includes retail, coal mining, telecom, TV, newspaper and recycling before becoming an author. I married my high school sweetie Becky and have two sons, two daughters, five granddaughters and two grandsons. I lost Becky to complications of diabetes in November, 2008 after 36 beautiful years together. The next year, I began writing The Indian Rock Vampire series based on the Heavener Runestone in southeastern Oklahoma. I publish my own work and assist other Oklahoma authors to do the same. In addition to the Indian Rock series, I've also written ONE DRUG, a thriller set in 2052. Other novels under development include the final two books of the Indian Rock Vampire series, and two more historical fiction novels, Payne County Weekly and Dragline.

  • East Wind Returns on March 26, 2011
    star star star star star
    With great storytelling and excellent writing, East Wind Returns brings a unique twist to one of the most well documented events in history. The fictional characters, who I immediately cared about and rooted for are expertly combined with well known figures like Harry Truman. The action and dialogue kept me reading. I cleared my calendar to finish it within 24 hours.

    I've been waiting for the release of Unpunished since reading Bill Grasso's previous novel, East Wind Returns. Unpunished did not let me down as a thriller, plus a great twist on U.S. history and politics. I give Unpunished a six star rating for anyone interested in reading a well crafted, well written story with great characters.
