Day 2 of the WordCrafter “Midnight Oil” Book Blog Tour

It’s Day 2 of the WordCrafter Midnight Oil Book Blog Tour and we’ve got some great treats in store for you. Today is release day for Midnight Oil: Stories to Fuel Your Nightmares, volume 3 of the Midnight Dark Fiction Anthology Series from WordCrafter Press. Thanks for joining us and helping us to send off this deliciously dark anthology.

On this stop, I’ll be introducing author Joseph Carrabis and learning about the three stories he has in Midnight Oil, including a reading of an excerpt from his story, “Jeremiah” done by Joseph himself.

Meet Author Joseph Carrabis

Joseph Carrabis is a master storyteller with a sharp sense of humor and deep linguistic expertise. Hailing from New Hampshire, USA, his passion for writing began at the age of seven while washing dishes with his older sister, Sandra. She’d read ‘Mission to the Heart Stars’ for a book report and shared her fascination and excitement over the story. Joseph, a plate in one hand and a dish towel in the other decided, “I want to give that joy in the written word to people.” With a career deeply embedded in evolving technologies, Joseph served as Chief Research Officer, Chief Neuroscience Officer, and Senior Research Fellow at several institutions and agencies while earning numerous awards for his journalism and trade technical writing.

Joseph refers to himself as boring – something loudly debunked by his readers and peers – and weaves wildly imaginative stories that dance on the boundary of the known and unknown sciences where natural, preternatural and supernatural intersect. Fans’ comments regularly mention Carrabis’ ability to bring together advanced mathematics, quantum physics, cybernetics, and neuroscience with believable multi-dimensional characters and spellbinding future technology. Joseph has been nominated for the Pushcart Prize, recommended for a Nebula Award, and received an honorable mention in ‘Writers of the Future’.
