He has written six books and worked with countless authors on finding their voice and a platform to publish their work.

A devoted book collector, John’s collection started with Bradbury and Vonnegut but has mushroomed into Murakami and Chiang and non-fiction in every discipline. He lives in New Jersey and is trying to get through his ever growing pile To Be Read.
