Joel Mowdy is the critically acclaimed author of Floyd Harbor: Stories, a collection of twelve linked stories that take place in and around Mastic Beach, a community on New York's Long Island that's close to the wealthy Hamptons but afflicted by widespread poverty. Joel lived there in a family of thirteen until he left for the University of Michigan, where he completed a Master of Fine Arts in Fiction. He has since worked in progressive education on three continents, most notably as a high school Literature teacher at one of the most unique and progressive international schools in Bali. Joel discusses the challenges he faced growing up in a large family, teenage angst, how he discovered writing, his creative processes, giving up the 9 to 5 to pursue his passion and much much more.
