Bio
Fun fact!
Born and raised in Silicon Valley—aka The Valley of Heart's Delight—Jafari Joseph made a radical career shift (one starlit night, being shown a vision of the valley's orchard past) by informing his friends and family that he was leaving his comfortable tech job to pursue a life-long dream of writing literary fiction.
To many, this brash act would cause much consternation. "Wait...you gonna go and start writing romance novels?" 😂
For others—it was simply a revelation. 🤩
Educated in the heart of Silicon Valley (BS in Economics, 2001; MBA, 2006), Jafari has worked the past 20 years in tech before deciding to branch out.
The Valley of Heart’s Delight is Jafari Joseph’s debut.
