We are honored and humbled to welcome local author, poet, public speaker, and Vietnam War Veteran, Joe Campolo Jr. to Arnett and Son Books on Saturday, November 7.Joe belongs to the VFW, The American Legion, and the Kenosha Area Vietnam Vets (KAVV). He is a feature writer for the Military Writer’s Society of America. (MWSA) He has also written many articles for newspapers and magazines. His website features many of his short stories.
Joe started writing at an early age, penning fantasies inspired by Jack O Brien, Twain, and others. He wrote several articles for military newspapers while serving in the Air Force. Later, with a career in industrial engineering and procurement, Joe wrote many articles and reports for corporate newsletters.
At the encouragement of his late mother, Joe started writing books and short stories. His short stories, often humorous, cover many topics and many are on his website's blog. Joe’s first published book, The Kansas NCO, is a historical novel about a black market operation during the Vietnam War. The award-winning book was hugely popular and, at the request of his readers, he wrote his second published book, Back To The World, the sequel to The Kansas NCO. The third book of the trilogy, Three Wars, was published in 2018. On War, Fishing and Philosophy, an anthology, was published in June of 2021. A screenplay for The Kansas NCO has been written, and it may hit the big screen at some time in the future.
Joe lives in Kenosha, Wisconsin and is sadly widowed from his wife of forty years, Ann. Joe and Ann raised two children and have two grandchildren. Joe enjoys traveling, fishing, spending time with his family and writing.
