Joseph Lyles was born and raised in a small, historic town in
South Carolina. However, he began traveling as a teen and has crisscrossed North
America many times and via many forms of transport, including bicycle and
motorcycle.
Joseph began his college education at Furman University and
concluded it at Huxley College of Environmental Studies at Western Washington
University, where he graduated with honors, earning a Bachelor of Science in
Human Ecology. He continued his education by obtaining a Juris Doctorate degree
from the Law School of the University of South Carolina.
Joseph traces his interest in science fiction to reading Dune
and watching Star Trek. Always an avid reader, Joseph first wrote professionally
in his law practice. He has also written a legal guide for non-lawyers
entitled, Avoiding Legal Landmines, which is available from the author or at
www.rjbooks.com .
Joseph lives with his family in Greenville, South Carolina,
where he writes, practices law, and does public speaking. His hobbies and
interests include active outdoor sports, environmental organizations, and
projects on his “mini-farm”.
