About John Matsui

My latest novel, Lycanthrope Rising, is available now as an eBook and as a paperback. While the continuing story of my vampire Dragul Mangorian follows the events in Late Bite: Vampire On Trial, the Toronto Vampire Chronicles, Book 1, it's written as a stand alone novel.
Key background events in Book 1 are provided to make it so but are filtered through the eyes and memories of people other than lawyer Al Hamblyn who narrates Late Bite. I took my cue from the classic Japanese film (1950) Rashomon that related a story three times. Important details changed when each of the three participants retold the tale.
An updated version of Late Bite that includes a new cover, and Gravity Games, the first in the Nathan Sherlock Foodie Thriller series, are available on Amazon sites worldwide as eBooks and paperbacks and through other major web purveyors as eBooks. I hope you'll take a peek and check out the Gravity Games video on this page.
It's strange to have three novels out and more books in both series and work started on two new book series under way.
How did I arrive at writing novels?
I had plenty of experience writing -- non-fiction. I worked as a journalist and communication consultant. A few years back, a friend challenged me to try my hand at fiction. A month later, I had the finished (first draft) manuscript for Late Bite and have been loving the ride ever since.
Judy and I live in Wortley Village, a quaint neighbourhood in that other London -- London, Ontario and so far all of my writing has been set in Canada.
