Mystery/Detective Author
Discover the BooksJoel Pollie grew up in a small farm town in Illinois before eventually settling in Chicago, where the contrasts between rural simplicity and urban complexity shaped his outlook on the world. Before pursuing his dream of writing full-time, Joel spent years building a career in the tech industry, immersing himself in the fast-paced environment of innovation and problem-solving.
An avid reader inspired by the works of Agatha Christie and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Joel has always been drawn to crafting complex, imperfect characters who navigate life’s gray areas. This passion comes to life in the Prometheus Confidential series, which follows Reese Warren, a sharp-tongued, struggling detective who mixes grit and dry humor with an often unsteady moral compass. Reese’s battles with personal demons make for stories that are equal parts mystery and character exploration.
Joel’s writing is fueled by a love of storytelling, a belief in the power of flawed heroes, and, occasionally, a glass of whiskey to spark creative inspiration. When he’s not writing, Joel enjoys exploring Chicago’s vibrant neighborhoods, reflecting on the quirks of human nature, and shaping the next chapter in the Prometheus Confidential series.
