My Story

 Meet John Wilson, a man whose life story is as vibrant and multifaceted as the stained-glass windows he crafts.  John's journey from youthful skirmishes with the law to becoming a force of innovation with over a hundred patents is a testament to his dynamic resilience.

 

A former engineer who spent most of his life developing computer systems, John faced an unexpected twist in his path.  A severe fall, necessitating a year of surgeries and recovery, steered this techie toward his latent passion for writing.  Embracing this unforeseen turn, John channeled his wealth of experiences and new found time into writing.

In his debut non-fiction, "The Art of Accomplishment," John melds project management with wit, offering insights into effective goal achievement.  His foray into fiction birthed "A Shadow of Black Water" and the anticipated "The Devil's Breath," introducing readers to the captivating world of Abel Kane.

John's life, stretching from Ohio to Houston, with stops in New York, Toronto, and Charlotte, has been a rich tapestry of experiences.  His myriad interests, ranging from construction and cooking to the outdoors and nature conservancy, speak to his versatility.

Married to his steadfast supporter, Margaret, John's biography is an engaging narrative of overcoming challenges and embracing life's unexpected turns.  This web site opens the door to his world -- a compelling mix of humor, innovation, and the enduring spirit of a man who turned obstacles into opportunities.

Reviews

"A Shadow of Black Water" is an amazing read that takes you up and down the New Orleans underworld! It had me holding my breath in anticipation of what was to come.  With a mix of characters to love, hate, and fear, and a twisted criminal organization to survive, crime and thrill readers will love every page they turn
