Joe comes from a long line of farmers, good, hardworking people, with a rascal or cowboy mixed in now and again. While he loved the people and the life, his heart resonated with the astronaut, the cowboy, the adventurer. His imagination fed by Burroughs and London, then Heinlen, Anthony, and King, he lived many lives courtesy of the written word. His first stories came in song, ballads and whimsy, tales of adventure and heartache and happiness. Then a bigger story grabbed him and a novel was born.

THE KING OF SILK chronicles the journey of a man lost in another era, stripped of his possessions and culture, who fights to reclaim the things he's lost. The book available at MuseItUp Publishing and other retail outlets. For more information, come by www.jdtrent.com.
