From the author's website:
I'm currently living in Boise, Idaho. I've recently received a B.A. in Anthropology with an emphasis in archaeology and occasionally work in the field locally. I've completed most of an illustration degree as well, for what it's worth (about $30k if the people at Wells Fargo are to believed). I quit pursuing illustration when I realized that having a degree in it isn't as important as having a good portfolio, and that I could save time and money if I focused on that instead.
I've recently combine the two areas by illustrating archaeological publications. I’m currently doing work for the State Historic Society as an archaeological archivist and illustrator for an elementary school textbook. On the weekends I work for Idaho Black Bear Rehabilitation (IBBR) feeding and rehabbing local black bear cubs, and on weekdays as a night watchman for a local insurance company.

In the future I hope to stop working multiple jobs and be a writer/illustrator for the speculative fiction genre and work in local academic archaeology, digging in the dirt and writing publications on all things ancient and interesting.
Joshua L. Hood lives in Boise, Idaho. He's been fascinated with the unknown since childhood. When he's not exploring the mysteries of possibility through writing and illustration, he does so through his fledgling career as an archaeologist. He also appreciates you stopping by to consider his work. - Author's bio to self-published collection, April 2012
