Josh Langley

Josh Langley – author, illustrator, daydreamer.

After failing high school twice and spending a ridiculous amount of time being unemployed, Josh went onto create a successful career as an award winning radio creative writer spanning 20 years. However it was his insatiable thirst to find the meaning to life and death and the insights he received that lead to the publishing of 3 illustrated books about happiness and two nonfiction Bill Brysonesque travelogues of his adventures to find evidence of the afterlife.

Josh lives on 7 and a half acres in the South West of Western Australia with his partner and a bunch of neurotic chickens.
