UK AUTHOR OF DYSTOPIAN THRILLER 'MANDATE: THIRTEEN' [Joseph J. Dowling] - Wordsleuth's 21st Pass-the-Baton Instagram Live Interview (Word Improv Community) (February 26, 2023)

Joseph always knew he would write seriously one day. That moment arrived in 2020, when his thriving hospitality business was temporarily shuttered. With time on his hands, he quickly fell into an obsession and became a keen student of the craft.

Since finding the passion, Joseph can't imagine life without stories rattling around his head. Eager to make up for lost time, he's been fairly prolific, and his short stories have appeared in several anthologies and literary magazines. He has published one novel, the dystopian thriller, Mandate: THIRTEEN, which was released on Jan 10th 2023 via Manta Press. Even better, his rejections are getting nicer by the week!

Joseph lives in London with his wife

and their Scotty dog.

The Word Improv Community is a writing community united by our passion for writing and a common challenge: Word Improv.  A Word Improv challenge is where participants write a “Story” using a set of “new” words.  A “Story” is broadly defined to include a tale, poem, skit, etc.  There is no character minimum or limit.  You can learn new words and participate in Word Improv, as well as in the Pass-the-Baton interviews by following @WordSleuth on Instagram!

Pass-the-Baton Interview # 21 is the twenty-first in a series of Instagram Live interviews where contributors to our Word Improv challenges interview one another so that our community and audience learns about Word Improv writers and their work.
