Joshua RaymondJoshua R. Raymond is an American author and attorney whose work explores the relationship between human freedom, personal meaning, and the deeper structures that shape our experience of the world. His professional background includes nearly two decads of legal practice, as well as prior policy-level authorship with the New York City Bar Association, where he co-drafted "Charting a Wiser Course" (2016), a policy report presented at the United Nations General Assembly Special Session on the world drug problem (UNGASS). In Search of the Return is his debut novel and the first in a planned trilogy that blends elements of magical realism, spiritual inquiry, and contemporary fantasy. Raymond's storytelling draws from travel, study, and a long-standing interest in the ways people search for truth, connection, and purpose in changing times. He lives in the American Midwest with his family and continues to develop the broader philosophical ideas introduced in this book, including the early foundations of the One Human Right framework that underpins the world of the trilogy.
