Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Greetings, I am Joel, a writer from London, England. I have written 2 books. Not quite sure how.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Jim & Martha: A Novel on Eco Living
I wrote this novel having been interested in the subject of low-impact living such as ecovillages since 2010, and between then and now have conducted extensive research in this area. I have read many articles and accounts, watched numerous videos, and mainly via social media have contacted people with direct experience of living in ecovillages to ask them pertinent questions. I visited an ecovillage during a festival just before its eviction, receiving important answers there too.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Yes I write in a big jumbled mess, and then spend years piecing it all together again like an unnecessarily complicated jigsaw.
