Joseph Courtemanche is a former Police Officer and Middle East/North Africa analyst. He is a distinguished veteran of the Naval Security Group of the United States Navy, and an Arabic linguist with training at the University of Minnesota and the Defense Language Institute (Honors Graduate).
Joseph's debut novel, Assault on Saint Agnes, won the American Christian Fiction Writers 2015 Genesis award for best novel in the Mystery/Suspense/Thriller category. He has been published in Splickety magazine as well. Nicholas of Haiti, his second novel, is a departure from his debut, and is set in the mission fields of Haiti. Still a master of suspense and action, the spiritual component has ramped-up with this new work of inspirational fiction.
The most recent work, The COVID Quarantine Cantina, is a collection of short stories by a group of award-winning authors written during and about the first four months of the 2020 lockdown. Chilling predictions of a future that came to be. Timeless.
Joseph holds several military awards, including two flag letters of commendation for his work in providing real-time intelligence support to commanders in the field. His experience provides the background that's crucial to his writing in the thriller genre. He is a graduate of the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, and holds degrees from two other colleges as well.
As a performer, he's appeared on television in a variety of commercials, and does voice over work for both radio and television. He delights in doing his own audio books. His audio book collection is growing rapidly, as he's produced work for a number of authors. All of them well-received.
His greatest joy is working as a professional Santa for the last fifteen years, appearing in a number of television spots as the Jolly Old Elf.
He lives in Southwest Florida with his wife and dog. Both of whom tolerate him fairly well. He escaped the tyranny of a cold blue state during the COVID lockdown and basks in the sun of his adopted home. And, he sweats rather often, even for a fat guy.
