The Author
Joe Broadmeadow
A retired police captain from East Providence, Rhode Island, Joe Broadmeadow spent over two decades in law enforcement — working organized crime, drug enforcement, and the FBI task force — before founding JEBWizard Publishing in 2019.
His novels aren't invented. They're distilled from years inside the system: the politics, the code, the courage, and the compromises. Whether he's writing gritty New England crime fiction, true crime collaborations, or award-winning young adult stories, every page carries the weight of authentic experience.

Amazon Reviewer — 5 Stars"Spirit of the Trail is a beautiful meditation on life, nature, and purpose. I couldn't put it down."
Goodreads Reviewer — 5 Stars"It's Just the Way It Was reads like the best true crime — because it IS true crime, told by someone who was actually there."
Reader Review — 5 Stars
