About Me

Hey! My name is Joe Turcotte, and I’m a Virginia-based author who writes detective mystery novels. I welcome you to read more at Detective Watts (Series) about my authorship journey and writing style. I also have a Contact form where you can reach out for personal and business inquiries.

Outside of writing, I love painting and birdwatching at various nature preserves. I also enjoy traveling solo, although I have a growing backlog of places I’d like to visit. Thanks for visiting my website!
