His investigative path brings him to a startling conclusion and a suspect that threatens to tear apart David's moral fiber.
Best-selling author John Foxjohn epitomizes the phrase "been there--done that." Whether consciously or unconsciously, maybe one of the first authors he followed contributed to this.
Many years ago, John became afflicted with a disease he calls "readaholism." His addiction to reading led him to Louis L'Amour, and even today, he continues to reread books by this author.
Louis L'Amour had a diverse background before he began to write and John followed that path--born and raised in the rural East Texas town of Nacogdoches, he quit high school and joined the Army at seventeen. Viet Nam veteran, Army Airborne Ranger, policeman and homicide detective, retired teacher and coach, and now he is a multi-published author.
Although John writes an entirely different genre than Louis L'Amour, he followed the author's path by using his diverse background and meticulous research. Although John's novels are fictional, many readers believe they are true stories.
Like his favorite author, John creates characters that readers love and root for--not cardboard cutouts. John says, "Normal people have faults and strengths--they make mistakes and need to overcome them and other obstacles thrown in their path. People judge others by how they handle adversity. That's how I attempt to create characters."
If you have read John's novels, you know that he is successful.
John hasn't yet reached the huge success of Louis L'Amour, but I wouldn't bet against him.
John is a member of Mystery Writers of America, Romance Writers of America, Elements of Romance, Kiss of Death, Lethal Ladies, Sisters-in-Crime, East Texas Writers Guild, League of Texas Writers, and more online writing groups than he can count. He is a full time writer and speaker and lives in Lufkin, Texas, but travels extensively across the U.S.
