About Joel

Joel Horn was barely five years old when his parents moved their family from southern California to a remote mining claim in the Trinity Alps. In his first published work, Impossible Beyond This Point (2013), Joel combines his parents’ writings with his own recollections to create a fascinating and entertaining account of the family’s struggle and triumph creating a self-sufficient life in the wilderness.

Lost Coast Rocket is Joel’s debut novel and the first book in the Mare Tranquillitatis Series. The second book in the series is Hatching the Phoenix Egg.
