Josh Gaddis

Author from Louisville, Kentucky · Owner of JG Ventures LLC

Josh Gaddis, an author from Louisville, Kentucky and owner of JG Ventures Books, is an everyday, hardworking man with a lifelong love of storytelling. His interest in writing began in childhood, when poetry and short stories gave his vivid imagination a place to grow. That same curiosity now shapes the characters, relationships, and difficult choices at the heart of his fiction.

Drawing inspiration from personal experiences and the situations people face in everyday life, Josh writes about love, trust, temptation, and the consequences of the choices we make. He wants readers to recognize something familiar in his characters, even when their lives take an unexpected turn.

His first series, the three-book Unexpected Love trilogy, explores romance and suspense grounded in human relationships. Its drama grows from desires, secrets, and decisions that could reach beyond the page into real life. Josh’s hope is simple: that you’ll want to finish the story in your hands, then discover the next one in his collection.
