J. E. Guerrieri has always had the imagination and excitement for writing short stories and songs. Mostly his time writing stories while in high school, he periodically wrote after graduating in 1988. Playing in a well known metal band in his home state, he helped in writing lyrics for his band. He began writing more music for project bands that he would later release on various music web sites.
Starting very late in life to become a writer, Joey stayed busy most of his life playing and writing music. After having his daughter and only child, he began writing more. Inspired by his daughter, who loved to write herself, she encouraged him to write a fan fiction story. He did so by using an app called Wattpad. The story gathered much praise for his work. This, along with family encouraged him to write his first novel, Amber's Flame. Hesitantly, he decided to have the novel published after many friends and family felt he needed to take the next step. So, he did and twelve years later it was released.
