Hi, it’s Joe here and apart from writing I’m a Santa Monica surf-dude. I love it bro’, surfing first and then writing. It’s my freelance gigs that allow me to live this lifestyle because when the surf’s up I can hit the beach at any time of day and leave the writing to after-dark.

The beaches are fantastic, the nightlife is great and what I love best is that I don’t have to interrupt my writing because I can get my weed delivered straight to my door!
