John McLean was born in Preston, Lancashire in the United Kingdom and now lives in Colchester, England with his husband Josh and a pair of Peekapoos named Richard and Luke. He contributes frequent articles to his local parish newsletter on biblical topics and once had a letter to the editor printed in "Punch".
He writes both fiction and non-fiction, and is currently working on his first memoir--about his tween years in the '90s during the dawn of the Internet age.
