About the Author

A long time ago, Joseph Covais was known for his precise replica clothing for museums, historic sites, and the movie industry. In the 1990s, blindness led Covais to a new career as a psychotherapist. Since that time, he has established a practice and teaches psychology at regional colleges.

In 2011, Covais published his first book. Battery โ€“ is the story of the 319th Glider Field Artillery in WWII, based on in-depth interviews he conducted with surviving veterans.

Covais is also a novelist. Quiet Room, the first Book in his Psychotherapy with Ghosts series, was published by NewLink, an imprint of Mystic Publishers in 2021. You can listen to the first chapter and more here: Psychotherapy with Ghosts. Female Academy and Bound by Fate followed in 2022.

Though categorized as โ€˜paranormal romance,โ€™ and โ€˜psychological fiction,โ€™ the Psychotherapy with Ghosts series also examines timeless, universal themes, through alternating chapters which take place in both 1840 and 1970.

Today Joe lives in Winooski, Vermont. He works as a psychotherapist with blind and visually impaired persons throughout the state, teaches psychology classes at regional colleges, and continued to write. His current project, Love, Science, and the Albany Female Academy, focuses on phrenology, animal magnetism, and the daguerreotype, during the early 19th century. He welcomes correspondence from readers, through Facebook at โ€œNovels by Joseph Covaisโ€ or through direct email at psychotherapywithghosts @ gmail.com.
