John Carter

By day, I'm an attorney. By night, I'm whatever I want to be. No rules to follow, no procedures. Those are the things I hate about practicing law. Those are the things that irritate me. So, I started writing books for children and middle grade readers where none of the rules and regulations apply. There are no limits on the imagination - no rules that have to be followed. I love writing for that reason more than any other.

My first book, Eli Arnold and the Keys to Forever started off as a simple bedtime story for my little girl. Then the voice in my head that kept telling me to write more became louder and louder pushing me to get the story down on paper. Now, Books One through Five are finished. Volumes One and Two in my other series, Stories from the Library, has been released and Book Six in my Eli Arnold Series is fighting to get out! That voice is as loud as ever! I hope folks like to read my books as much as I've liked writing them.

A little about me. I'm a big kid at heart (some would say immature). I love being outside. For fun I explore old tunnels and do a little cross-country running. I play ultimate Frisbee as much as possible and am very active in my community. I'm married with one little girl who is growing up way too fast! I live in the small town of Macon, Georgia, which makes appearances in a lot of my books. I, like Eli Arnold, am a chili dog fanatic and can often be found at NuWay weiners (that's how they spell it) scarfing them down.

I write as often as I can (stupid work gets in the way a lot) and love bouncing ideas off my girl and and my friends. Each of them has earned a special place in Heaven for having to listen to me prattle on about one story, idea, or another.

Please check out my books! I know you'll enjoy them. And drop me a line. I love hearing from folks. You can reach me at JohnCarter2nd@bellsouth.net.
