Author and Academic Coach, JOSEPH C. COOK, grew up in Salt Lake City, Utah, playing chess, Dungeons and Dragons, and reading any fantasy or sci-fi book he could find. He now lives in Denver, Colorado with his brilliant partner and terribly behaved dog. Joseph has the privilege of teaching students with learning challenges; he adores helping the overlooked succeed. He also plays way too many video games and is obsessed with collecting Platinum Trophies. FoundHome is his first published book, and the second book in the TrueHome trilogy, LostHome, will be released 6/01/2026.
