Kapusinski has recently completed his first novel, The Wars of the Republic: The Awakening, which will be available on Amazon on June 12. The book is the first in a multi-volume science fiction series that explores the cost of humankind’s quest for immortality.
“I am indebted to the leadership, mentorship and support I have received from Future Legends as that has guided me in my academic and personal endeavors,” Kapusinki observed.
Future Legends mentor Peggy Brooks observed, “It has been a privilege to serve as a mentor to Josh. From our first meeting it was obvious to me what an outstanding and talented young man he is. I’m thrilled, but not at all surprised, by Josh already producing his first published novel– and look forward to his future achievements.”
“Being a mentor and assisting scholars like Josh to achieve these milestones is so very meaningful,” stated Vearl Smith, founding chairman of Future Legends. “His literary skills and commitment to writing and publishing will enable Josh to become very successful,” Smith concluded.
