About This Site and The Author
He is the author of at least twenty novels spanning various literary fields, from speculative to mysterious literature, from the fantastic to historical fiction grounded in fact. Among his pioneering achievements, he was the first person in world history to release entire proprietary novels online in weekly serial chapters 1996-1997 (see Neon Blue and This Shoal of Space). Among his historical discoveries, John is the first person in history to translate and explain the ancient enigma of the Sator Arepo 'magic' Square, which has puzzled scholars for centuries. This is not sensationalism, but solid scholarly work. He is the first person to explain the famous, so-called Kate Morgan ghost&crime mystery-legend, an over 120 year old cold case, at the U.S. National Landmark Hotel del Coronado near San Diego. While Dead Move: Kate Morgan & The Haunting Mystery of Coronado is a scholarly, painstaking, though still compelling analysis, the author gives us a fast-paced, rousing thriller based on both popular legend and his analysis in the noir 1892 thriller Lethal Journey. He offers a sweeping and innovative solution to certain key cosmological mysteries (dark matter, dark energy, accelerating expansion of the universe). A leading academic expert and Ph.D. in Astronomy/Astrophysics/Cosmology at a famous New England university has, upon personal examination, already called this work 'compelling.' His magnum opus is A Walk in Ancient Rome, Revised 2nd Edition, a unique and valuable virtual tour of ancient Rome in the early reign of Constantine (c312 BCE). For the interested lay reader or student, it's never been done before: a complete virtual guide to all fourteen Imperial districts, explaining what's hidden in their most obscure corners, and the history behind everything. Rome has never made more sense. Entertaining, and a valuable addition to your reference shelf. Already has earned major kudos. |
