Joshua McSwain was born and raised in Hartsville, South Carolina. A small college town with plenty of historical appeal. Shortly after graduating from Hartsville High School, he moved to Calabash, North Carolina, a famous coastal town for its Calabash-styled seafood. He found work at one of these restaurants as a young man. And twenty years later, he's still working at the same restaurant as a manager. During his time off, which was seldom, he wrote: "The Misty Effect," fulfilling a dream to be a published author.
