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.

What Readers Say

Praise for Joe's Work

"Broadmeadow writes with the authority of someone who lived every scene. The Josh Williams series is the most authentic police fiction I've read."

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."
