At RWI Publishing, we’re honored to partner with authors who bring bold voices and meaningful stories to life. Each one offers something unique—and worth reading.
J.L. Allred
J. L. Allred is a storyteller at heart, weaving tales of wonder, courage, and faith. He is the author of Hunting Misfortune, the first in his epic Darkland Saga, a series over a decade in the making.
Raised in the quiet hills of Arkansas, Josh now lives in Florida with his wife and their three adventurous children. A lifelong lover of fantasy, he believes in its power to “steal past our watchful dragons” and reveal the deeper realities of goodness, truth, and beauty.
Josh draws inspiration from his Christian faith and literary influences like C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, Brandon Sanderson, and J.K. Rowling. Whether building new worlds or exploring old truths, his stories remind us that light overcomes darkness—and hope always has the final word.
Joshua E. Bishop
Joshua E. Bishop writes to help people communicate better. He’s the author of Awkward Communication, the first in a down-to-earth series exploring the everyday mess of human connection. A longtime pastor, Josh also brings years of leadership experience from both the startup world and the manufacturing industry. His work is shaped by his Christian faith, his love for honest conversation, and a desire to see people grow in grace and clarity. Josh lives in Ormond-by-the-Sea, Florida, with his wife, Sarah, and their two kids—his favorite people to adventure with.

Playful at heart and thoughtful by design, Chuck writes stories that make readers smile—then think. Whether he’s building curious characters or turning everyday moments into big questions, his work lingers long after the final page.
