Joseph Sterk

Joseph Sterk is a Harvard- and MIT-trained scientist whose career in life sciences and finance has taken him from the lab bench to the boardroom. A published scientific author and chartered financial analyst, he has spent over two decades helping bring lifesaving medical innovations to market.

But behind the numbers and data beats the heart of a storyteller.

Blending his analytical mind with a lifelong love for myth and worldbuilding, Sterk writes sweeping epic fantasy grounded in psychological realism, political tension, and timeless questions of fate, power, and identity. His debut novel, Son of the Borderlands, invites readers into a vivid realm where dragonblooded legacies stir, empires fracture, and loyalty is as dangerous as prophecy.

When not writing or consulting, he’s an avid traveler, volunteer, weightlifter, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner.
