Writer of ghost stories and fairy tales. Born on a small island in the northeast United States called Manhattan, John went on to live in places like Orlando, Richmond, Sydney, and Madrid. He's circled the US in a car, and he recently started learning to play the bass.

Stale Reality

Just came back from Scares That Care Weekend, where we raised a whole lot of money for a good cause (or three good causes), and where I also debuted my newest novel, Stale Reality.
