Joe lives in Maryland with his musical wife, Elizabeth Breslin, who teaches at Mother of God School. A displaced Annapolitan, Joe loves to visit the state capital with Liz, while entertaining improbable fantasies about someday owning a home on Duke of Gloucester Street. Speaking of imaginative scenarios, the Breslins share a love of science fiction, fantasy, comic books, movies, and other nerdy and/or relatively inexpensive diversions. Joe reviews books and movies for the Heights Forum, and has published articles for Mercator.net, The American Conservative, and The International Indian. His favorite sci-fi authors include Ray Bradbury, Philip K. Dicke, John C. Wright, and Michael Flynn.
