The characters in my books have all derived in some sort from my own personal emotion. The pain, the joy, the fear is real, it’s just been translated from one situation to a fictitious one.(less)

The Hanging Tree was refined through my very own pain and suffering. Oftentimes, in my darkest moments, I’ve felt like little Jimmy Hanson.(less)

Quotes by John Westrick (?)

“It was in this line of thought, where true courage was mustered. A strength measured not by the size of his muscles or the amount one could lift, but the more impressive type, the type quantified in the amount of shit one can wade. Identified in the amount of crap hands dealt without bowing out altogether.”
― John Westrick, The Hanging Tree

“Slowly the night’s grasp yielded to the onslaught of the coming day. The darkness faded leaving pockets of thick shadow cast by the steady rising of the orange sliver on the horizon. Even these strongholds of the night were unable to stand in the face of such an overwhelming adversary, and shortly I was left in the shining light of morning.”
― John Westrick, Shadows in the Night: A Short Horror Story
