Joel Machak

With passions for nature and the exploration of the human heart, Machak takes the reader on a historical journey to times long forgotten while unearthing the deepest desires and searing storms that outline the human soul. In WilderSkies, the ethereal presence of higher spiritual energies meets the darker earthiness of the untamed human heart in this ambitious telling. Joel brings his decades of writing experience and endless curiosity about life and the human condition to a story that may just change the way you look at your relationship with nature. His previous novels, Upheaval and Civilization Starship, both carry his stamp of pulling back the curtain on the human heart. The work he has done has been honored internationally and sits in the permanent collection at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History in Washington DC.
