Joshua Gamon
Comic Book Writer and Author
About Me...
Joshua Gamon is an American fiction writer and alumnus of the University of Edinburgh, where he was awarded a Masters in Creative Writing. When he's not working as a caregiver, he writes epic comic books and award-winning fantasy novels. Often believing he was born in the wrong decade, he spends his private life romanticizing the 60s and 70s, as well as the 1920s, which heavily influences his writing style.
​
Despite preferring the quiet life, he often finds himself swept up in one adventure or another, having once worked as an actor for the History Channel, having survived a cruise ship fire, building robots alongside Motorola engineers to compete across the United States, and riding his bicycle through the frantic and busy streets of Seoul, South Korea when he was an English teacher, to name a few.
​
But when adventure doesn't find him and the words do not come so easily, he is also an avid gamer, vinyl collector, a loud champion of all things geekdom, and a self-confessed music snob.
