Publishing 20 full length titles since 2011, Joe has become a highly respected voice in the self-reliance community.

Consistently ranked in the top 500 authors worldwide, his fiction and non-fiction works have earned an average customer review of 4.4 (on a 5.0 scale) on Amazon, with over 1300 total opinions expressed.

The 6th title in the Holding Their Own series (November 2013) was a milestone event in Joe's writing career, with over 1,000,000 words published. Some other highlights:

HOLDING YOUR GROUND - PREPARING FOR DEFENSE IF IT ALL FALLS APART, was ranked in the Amazon Top 100 Bestsellers for 29 days, an extraordinary accomplishment for a self-reliance title.

The Home Schooled Shootist was the #1 ranked firearms title for three months.

Joe's titles have been #1 in six different Amazon categories.

In July of 2012, Joe had three titles in the Top 10 Survival Skills category, with the first, second and fifth spot.

In addition to his numerous books, Joe believes strongly in participating in the self-reliance community. Ranging from current political events to prepper-centric subject matter, he actively participates with like-minded folks via his articles, submissions and guest blogging.

"One of our community's greatest strengths is the willingness of others to share their knowledge, experience and concepts regarding preparations. I would be remiss if I didn't contribute to this effort. We are all trying to solve problems, implement methods and look for a more efficient way to ensure our families' well-being. I want to do my part." - Joe Nobody

From weapons to water filters, equipment is a critical component of any self-reliance lifestyle. While the web may be full of reviews, videos and other media, Joe looks at gear and kit from the prepper's perspective.

Not one to jump on the newest offering's bandwagon, Joe likes to use products in the field for a considerable amount of time before recommending anything to his readers.

"Preppers have unique needs when it comes to products. Spare parts most likely won't be available. Customer service reps won't answer the phone, and we won't be able to run down to the corner store on Saturday morning for batteries. While military gear is designed for the harsh rigors of warfare, it isn't always the best solution. After an event, we most likely won't have a unit armorer to fix our malfunctioning weapon. The repair man isn't gong to show up, and we can't ship a defective product back along with a nasty letter. We need robust tools and equipment that are legacy quality." - Joe Nobody
