John refused to write his own biography. He said it would be 'pompous and arrogant.' I told him he still needed to write one. He refused. He's stubborn like that. He didn't know what to write or say about himself. But, I have a pretty good idea.

He doesn't like doing the standard boilerplate. He doesn't like telling you what his interests or hobbies are, he doesn't think you care. He doesn't want to sound like everyone else and I'll tell you why. He won't say it, but I will. He's not like everyone else. He's not like any other author I've ever read and I've read over a hundred different ones.

John was born in Webster, SD in 1989. He moved to Ellendale, North Dakota when he was very young. He doesn't really like talking about how he grew up, but it shaped a lot of what he writes. He writes horror, the likes of which I've never experienced. His horror is gripping and borders a lot of different genres. He merges a lot of different influences and he does it scary well. His writing is merciless most times, very visceral, almost primal. He's got a way of cutting to the moral core and fabric of what we are. I know what you're thinking, and for the most part, his writing is that sharp--the horrific parts, I mean.

But what really makes him different is his heart. He's haunting and poetic about how he puts things. John's writing is almost more beautiful in his shades of shadow and ugly than any romance I've ever read or any book about beautiful things. Those things from his childhood, as terrible as they were, were almost his greatest gift because it gave him a voice that's the most unique I've come across.

I'm no scholarly reviewer and I don't have any literary degree. But, I do read. I know what I like. I don't make time for drivel. I've tried to hate John's work cause I'm not really a horror fan . . . but, he convinces me every time the pen meets paper. I can't ever quit reading and that's the only time I've used that cliche and meant it that honest.

He got his bachelor's from Valley City State University and he did some graduate work. He was unfulfilled, so he opted for a full-time job, time with his daughter and as much writing as he can muster. I was so glad he did. He creates magic, he really does.

His first novel, "The Big Red Devil," is as fine of a book as I've ever read. His new release, "Road of Bones," still has me in a state of shock.

Give him a chance. You won't regret it. Trust me.

Faceless

In the wake of what happened with me and my wife, I've been seeing a therapist. I've been working through a lot of issues, things that I tried to bury alive, things that weren't quite dead. Normally, being passionate about fitness and self-motivation, it wouldn't even be worth mentioning. Usually, I say whatever you have to do to stay healthy and continue working forward is necessary and wonderful Read more of this blog post »
