Before he wrote novels and short stories, Joe Kilgore created television, radio, newspaper and magazine advertising for some of the world’s largest corporations. Over the years his commercials and ads have been honored with local, regional, national and international awards. He has created and produced advertising in the USA, England, France, Holland, Brazil, New Zealand, Austrailia, Mexico and Saudi, Arabia.

A Texan by birth and the father of three, Joe currently resides in Austin with his wife, Claudia, an accomplished artist. Also on hand is their French Bulldog, assorted cats, plus uninvited squirrels, geese, and deer who frequently wander by.

From advertising to fiction, which some might say are virtually the same.
Joe’s short stories have won awards and been featured in creative journals, anthologies, magazines, and online literary publications. Joe’s blog, The Fiction Fortune Hunter, reviews novels and authors he feels are worthy of second, third or even more looks.

To date, Joe has authored ten published novels, one novella, plus a collection of short stories. You can learn more about Joe’s books on the joe’s books page of this website, at Joe’s author page on Amazon or at encirclepub.com/encircle-author/joe-kilgore/
