Meet Joe! Here is the Bio Joe sent me. He writes better than I can!!

"In the interest of full disclosure, I will explain my pen name, Joseph Stanley. My birth name is

Joseph Stanley Suchocki. My father’s name, Stanley, is the origin of my middle name. So in a

respectful nod to my father, I am using Joseph Stanley as my pen name. I know he would have

enjoyed our names being together in my literary endeavors.

My personality and writing characteristics are based on a variety of experiences. Being

a baby boomer and Capricorn started the ball rolling in January 1946. High school and two

years of college were highlighted by my playing in a true-to-form sixties garage band of

western Michigan fame.

The next major influence was five years (1966–1971) of service in the army; I spent

two years in Vietnam and reached the rank of captain. My claim to fame in service was coming

home in one piece and of sound mind. While I appreciate and understand people thanking me

for my service, I simply saw it as an expected duty to be fulfilled.

After military service, I started working in medical sales and sales management,

eventually becoming an independent entrepreneur. That chapter started with my founding a

national consulting company, where I spent thirty-five years conducting hundreds of seminars

throughout the country and writing policy manuals, newsletters, training programs, and more.

Heading into retirement, I battled depression (see the preface), which launched my

journey into being a fiction writer. I began studying the art of writing, with a goal of creating

and publishing stories in various formats. And as you read this, my journey as an author

continues to be a work in progress.

I invite you to check out my author’s website (www.stanleywrites.com) and follow me

on Facebook (JosephStanleyWrites). I hope you’ve enjoyed or will enjoy Collective Vengeance,

and look for the sequels, Counter Vengeance in 2025 and Serial Vengeance in 2026."
