About this author

edit data

Hello. I'm Johnny, and I hate talking about myself.

I currently live in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains in the beautiful, tax-free state of New York with my wife and her three cats. I say "her cats" instead of "my cats" because she's the one who feeds them, and their loyalty seems to lie with the person who opens the can. It seems that the guy who cleans their litter box gets no respect.

I split my free time between driving to work, driving back from work, and sleeping. It's really amazing I had time to write a book, when I think about it.

Likes: Writing, Backpacking, Canoeing, Drumming, Music, Reading, Photography, Woodworking, comics and restoring antique radios.

Dislikes: Talking about myself.
