about me

"My mind wanted to do nothing more than cower in the corner and babble while the Something looked at me through the keyhole of that door, but I couldn't do even that. I could not look away, though I ached with the want of it.
Instead, I screamed." - From "Locks" in "Just Before Dawn"

"We learn to forget at around age thirteen and it gets worse with age. We forget about the places in the dark and the things that creep within them. A terrible thing, forgetting." - From "The Shadowed Corner", a short story in "Just Before Dawn"


Joshua Hernandez is an independent author working out of Delano, California. His short story compilation, "Just Before Dawn", is his most recent work and is now available for purchase on Amazon.com.

His novel, "The Blood of a Savage", and it's subsequent sequels are awaiting publication. He is currently working on TBoaS as well as a collection of horror stories call...ed "Odds and Ends". A collection of poetry called "Doorways and Dreamscapes" is forthcoming.

Joshua is currently seeking freelance writing whether it be short stories (genre fiction, fantasy, horror, literary fiction, etc.), articles or reviews. Work on projects both large and small more than welcomed; collaboration given and accepted with pleasure!

Back me if you enjoy what you read, shelve it, put it on your watchlist. Either way, I appreciate it. I will try to answer back reads, that is a promise. I enjoy the writing, I enjoy the reading. I enjoy the interaction. I enjoy spam not at all. Other than that, friend me, back me, shelve me, comment or message, and I'll be good enough to try to return the favor. There are some great writers here, and some great spammers as well. The former, I applaud you. The latter...oh well.
