John Rattenbury is the author of Mithra: Stone Sorceress, Hidden Pharaoh, a speculative fiction novel blending Roman-Egyptian history with elemental magic and mythology - the origin story of the Mithra character. The Rattenbury name traces back to a family linked to Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin Studio co-founder, John Francis Rattenbury, and his father, Francis Mawson Rattenbury, a noted architect known for British Columbia’s landmark buildings in western Canada. John is a licensed architectural engineer working in the Boston, Massachusetts area, while pursuing his passion for novel writing. He writes stories that explore loyalty, betrayal, and the heavy burden of destiny. When not writing or designing piping systems, Rattenbury enjoys watching movies excessively and studying astronomy.
