Raised in Florida, John ran away to join the circus at age 19. He lived in Hollywood, California for ten years and Southeast Asia for over twenty. He has acted on radio, stage, television and film. None of it has made him famous. (Well, he IS somewhat of a third-world celebrity in Jakarta, Indonesia.) John has witnessed earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and monkey attacks. He has been swept out to sea. He has danced with dictator's wives. Riots, coup d'états, typhoons and killer floods–been there, done that.
Only you, dear reader, can keep John out of harm's way by purchasing and telling everyone that you know about his wonderful books.
