His experiences inspired Beneath the Rings, which centers around a terrorist event at the 2040 Summer Olympic Games in Doha. In this story, an independent journalist finds herself in the center of an international hostage situation and has to race against time to uncover the terrorist plot steeped in corruption, trafficking, and revenge to save the Olympic Games from international disaster. Joe has drawn upon his nearly thirty-year career in journalism, including coverage of multiple Olympic Games, to craft a fictional story based on an amalgamation of people he’s known, places he’s been, and events he’s witnessed.
