His first book “Spirit of the Phoenicians”, published in 2009 is an autobiography. He boasts of being a descendant of the ancient Phoenicians hence the title. Joe currently lives in the Rock of Gibraltar where the Mediterranean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean. His Maltese ancestors lived in Malta, Port Said, Egypt and in the 1800’s they moved to Gibraltar. Joe has travelled extensively though Europe and USA, having lived in Canada and England for many years. He worked in the Industrial Diamond Industry and later in the Oil and Gas drilling industry in Canada, Cuba, Venezuela and in many States in the USA.
When, in 1967, he returned to Gibraltar he went into local politics and was elected into the now Gibraltar Parliament and served as Minister for Health Services and later as Minister for Public Works.
Joe is also an accomplished and popular fine-art painter and prolific media letter writer. (Paintings website. www.joecaruana.com ). When he once again returned to Gibraltar, after retiring at the age of 49 years, he dedicated all his time to helping Drug Addicts and Alcoholics, setting up the first Rehabilitation centre in the general area of Gibraltar, and 20 years later, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II awarded Joe the MBE, the Most Venerable Order of the British Empire.
His second book came out in 2011, “When The Hangman Came”, a true and brutal murder story that took place in 1930 in Gibraltar, with the alleged murderer hanged by the neck. Joe’s research uncovered documents not disclosed during the trial that puts the verdict of ‘Guilty’ into doubt. Joe brings to life conditions in the British Colony of Gibraltar in ‘30s.
The book is available through Authorhouse, Amazon and can be obtained as an e-book from Kindle.voir moins
