John Neeleman

John Neeleman's editorial model is historical fiction in a largely realistic mode, though there are hallucinatory passages that reflect Neeleman’s concern with philosophical and spiritual matters, in part a residue of what is prosaically called a religious upbringing. He was raised as a seventh generation Mormon, and rebelled, but never outgrew his interest in metaphysical concerns. "Logos" is his debut novel. He is working on a second novel; the story is centered on Thomas Paine’s and Mary Wollstonecraft’s misadventures in France during the Reign of Terror. John spends his days working as a trial lawyer in tall buildings in downtown Seattle. He lives in Seattle with his wife and children. He also represents death row inmates pro bono in Louisiana and Texas.
