Josh Walker was born the third of seven children. He was raised in Cheyenne, WY. Growing up, he was a fan of Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. After graduating High School, he spent two years in Chile: learning the language and culture, meeting new people, and making lifelong friends. He returned to the United States, taking an interest in early childhood education and spent eight years in that field. Going back to Chile to visit old friends, he found a new one - the best friend he ever had, Macarena. They have been married for seven years and have two children, a one year old boy and three year old girl. Josh is currently the Creative Story Director for Apixal, an independent game developer. When he isn't writing or working at his day job, he is spending time with his wife and kids.
