John was born in Kingston, Ontario. He started reading at a very young age and writing about ten minutes later. Growing up on a farm, he envisioned aliens and dragons around every corner. Although more often than not those monsters turned out to be cows, it didn’t stop him from keeping that imagination and passion for storytelling. To this day he can't go up into the haymow of the barn in the dark of night without a twinge of fear. Although Orphan Station is his debut novel, he has several more ready to publish. John lives in Eastern Ontario with his wife. They will be welcoming their first child in the spring of 2014.
