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.
