Josh has also written the children's allegory 'Little Bluewing,' which is a prequel to his upcoming children's novel 'The Faerie Key', which has Christian analogies, metaphor and symbolism throughout. Josh is also producer and director of evangelical feature film '1500 Steps' which gained distribution in the USA and other countries.
