Biography
Joseph Howse writes fiction and poetry, as well as technical books on computer programming and image analysis. He lives in a Nova Scotian fishing village, where he chats with his cats and nurtures an orchard of hardy fruit trees.

Joseph's debut novel, The Girl in the Water, has won the 2023 Independent Press Award for Literary Fiction, the 2023 IAN Book of the Year Awards for Outstanding Multicultural Fiction, the 2023 IPPY Awards Bronze Medal for Best Regional Ebook (Fiction), and an Honorable Mention in the 2024 Eric Hoffer Book Award for E-Book Fiction. He is currently working on the sequel, The Circus and the Atom. These novels are the start of a multigenerational saga called Next Year's Snow, which hinges on the friendship and strife of two families in the Soviet/post-Soviet world.

Some of Joseph's latest work is published or forthcoming in Litbreak Magazine, Humana Obscura, The Poetry Lighthouse, The Mamba, and among the prize winners in the New Zealand Poetry Society's 2024 anthology, paint me.

Joseph has experience doing business, volunteer work, and speaking engagements on six continents. He has won several awards from Bpeace (a pro bono consulting group) for his work on business mentorship projects in El Salvador and Guatemala.

As a graduate of Dalhousie University, Joseph holds a BA in French, MBA in International Business, MA in International Development Studies, and Master of Computer Science.
