John Draper

So . . . about me: I’ve known I wanted to be an author since I was 9. Life got in the way, though. Specifically, I finished college, landed my first newspaper job, got married, got divorced, raised my three amazing kids with my wonderful ex. Turns out, life’s a lot of work. During this entire time, I was employed as a full-time writer, strictly nonfiction—though dramatic nonfiction, I like to think.

Anyway, when my kids got old enough, around my 50th birthday, I was able to devote the time necessary to write a novel. So I did. Little did I know how much time would be “necessary.” Why didn’t someone warn me writing a novel’s so hard?

A Danger to God Himself is my first book, written almost entirely at a coffee shop in Puyallup, Washington, and a bar in Tacoma, Washington—mornings and nights, respectively.
