Author Biography
He is an artist with a passion for literary creativity, visual story-telling and a loving God of light... His name is Joshua B. Wichterich and his yearning is to use the gifts that God has blessed him with to help plant seeds of light--and change lives one day at a time. He believes it is his quest here on earth... He hopes to do bigger things for God as his years goes by. Joshua is one of the illustrators for The Princess The Pearls and The Pekingese, which is a fantastic and beautiful children's book series. Joshua loves to cook and attended culinary school for a while, but discovered that God had different plans for him. He enjoys music, reading, spending time with the Lord--and of course being with his family and creating art and stories. Joshua's greatest goal is to reach people and share God's love with them through his illustrations and stories. Joshua's personal anecdotes: Everyone has a story within them to tell--and there are so many ways to tell it... Mine started when I was a teenager with an obsession with Greek mythology and legends from the Medieval times. The Last Legend began with art work and a faint storyline--then grew into one incredible story. For 13 years, my story became stronger and grew in my head, just as I grew upon the earth. It wasn't until 3 years ago that I started writing The Last Legend. During those years I rededicated my life to Christ, and that's when my story turned into something more than just another fantasy--it became a testimony, my own Iliad and a beacon of hope. You see, the situations that my beloved characters go through in The Last Legend are inspired by broken experiences that we go through everyday--but just with an epic twist. Just as I experienced the dark-side of our world, so do my characters in the story. It's ironic how 13 years ago, my story inspired by poems dealing with many gods, is now inspired by our one and only true God. Over the years, my story had many names and main themes--but now its name and themes are complete. The Last Legend: Awakened, is book one to this epic story and the themes of everlasting love and light breaking the darkness are its roots. When darkness becomes so thick upon your being that it is literally suffocating you--call out to God...
