Joe Mahoney is a writer and a broadcaster.

As a broadcaster, he has produced multiple radio documentaries on science fiction. He produced Six Impossible Things, an audio compilation of short fantastical fiction, curated by Nalo Hopkinson, and wrote and produced the science fiction radio show Faster Than Light, hosted by Robert J. Sawyer.

He engineered and story-edited Steve the First, a post-apocalyptic science fiction radio play mini-series, and its sequel, Steve the Second, which won a silver Mark Time Award. He produced and directed the pilot of the radio drama series Canadia: 2056, and story-edited all subsequent episodes. He is responsible for all the funniest bits.

He has also occupied several operational management roles within the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

Joe’s short fiction has been published in Canada, Australia and Greece. He’s been nominated three times for an Aurora Award, one of Canada’s top awards for science fiction and fantasy, though he's yet to win the damned thing.

A Time and a Place is his first novel, but he's well into his second, working title Captain's Away.

He has also published a collection of short fiction entitled Other Times and Places and a memoir on his career in radio called Adventures in the Radio Trade.

Joe lives in Riverview, NB with his wife, and a Sheltie, and a Siberian forest cat.
