Are we saving the world, or what?
Hi there! I’m John, and I did a thing.
My upcoming novel, The Silent Season, is currently in the editing stage.
Get to know my style and follow my publishing journey. On Substack, where the cool kids hang out.
The Silent Season has been characterized as “a neo-noir that doesn’t pull its punches, a book about violence, consequences and the cost of conviction.”
It’s also been called “unflinching”, “visceral”, and (somehow) “philosophical”.
Me, I just tried to write something that I’d enjoy reading. Something about saving the world while damning oneself.

I talk about my process, share insights and trivia, and sometimes vignettes or outtakes, written in the same voice as the book itself. If you’re curious about what goes on inside the page, or if you just want to sample my writing before committing to a full novel, this is a good place to do it. I’ve currently only leaned into the “process and life” part, but I’m hoping to share some vignettes or outtakes soon.
Mailing list time!
Sign up to be among the first to know when the book launches, and receive a free chapter (as soon as it’s available).
Don’t worry, I won’t send you spam or sell your data.
Even if I wanted to, which I don’t, I wouldn’t have the bandwidth. I’m doing most things myself, in between my day job and raising a wonderful but very energetic toddler. With the editing, the website maintenance, and the social media, I’m overworked as it is.
I’ll only send you emails for reasons like:
- Your free chapter or chapters are ready
- There’s an opportunity to get a signed copy, a presale price, or something similar
- The book is launching or has launched
My book is the only thing I’m trying to sell you, because I think you’ll enjoy it, as I enjoyed writing it.
