John York has been writing and publishing thought provoking novels since 2016, but he’s always been a storyteller, even as a kid in Central Ohio where he grew up. His life experiences provided him with a wealth of tales to share with others and resulted in his debut work, Wolf’s Tale. According to John, all his intriguing stories of unusual people, places, and events come to him in dreams. His heroes and heroines are always ordinary people who rise up to accomplish extraordinary things.

He currently lives with his wife, Paula, in New Port Richey, Florida, in a house they call “the swamp castle”.

I write music too, but I'm too nervous to play those compositions publicly very often, but a novel is something that people read on their own. Hard to explain. I love coming up with the stories. It's actually fun.

Inspiration Behind The Five Watches

The story behind the book, The Five Watches: An Accident of Time

During my life, I’ve tried my hand at more things than most people. Even as a kid, my mother often told me that I was flighty, that I should take the time to focus on doing something well. “Jack of all trades, master of none,” she often told me. She assured me, however, that I had potential, I only needed to apply myself. But I grew u Read more of this blog post »
