John August Schumacher

My writing "career" started in the mid-1980s with short stories and satire. In the early 1990s, I tried my hand at poetry, and have composed over 150 works of verse to-date. Short stories gave way to full-length novels, while satire was expressed in both prose and verse. Finally, my scholarly pursuits led me to write about history, theology, philosophy, and other topics, many of which are embedded in my novels as well. Writing is my outlet, my way to capture the contents of imagination, and also a way to reflect and comment on the state of the world.
