JOSH BLACKMON
I'm a Florida-based writer who tells stories about transformation. The kind that doesn’t always come willingly.
I am the author of Sundown at Splashtown, a middle grade supernatural adventure inspired by summers at mediocre waterparks and a love of the uncanny. My previous works include the Roller Derby Vampire Girl trilogy, a new adult series (completed in 2024) exploring identity, power, and what it costs to survive change.
When I'm not writing, I work in marketing, building brands and experiences designed to leave a lasting impression.
ADDITIONAL TITLES • NEW ADULT • FOR OLDER READERS
THE ROLLER DERBY VAMPIRE GIRL TRILOGY
A completed series asking what happens when we become the very monster we set out to destroy.
Strong language, bloody violence, disturbing imagery, and mature themes. Intended for older readers.
