About John McNichol

John McNichol was born in Toronto, Canada at the dawn of the swinging 70s...which likely explains why he is such a fan of the Big 80s. He lived the first eighteen years of his life in Toronto, leaving to attend college at Franciscan University of Steubenville in Ohio.
College agreed with him in more ways than one. He received an excellent level of academic and spiritual formation at FUS, and credits it to this day with his ability to focus a life of faith onto creative pursuits. Most important, it was at FUS that John he met his American wife. He's remained in the United States since his graduation and wedding in 1992.

John now lives in Irving, Texas, with his wife Jeanna and their children. John is a High School English teacher by trade, and continues to pursue excellence in his vocation while writing hard-boiled detective stories and steampunk-themed science fiction about his favorite authors and literary characters. He became a proud American citizen on September 19th, 2012.

John's first book, "The Tripods Attack," was published by Hillside Press in March 2008. Part of a trilogy titled "The Young Chesterton Chronicles," the second volume, "The Emperor of North America," is also available from Hillside. His novel for the 9-12 year old Market, "The King's Gambit", was published by Hillside in October of 2013. He is currently at work on the final volume of the YCC, "Where the Red Sands Fly." His short story, "Two Kinds of People," was included in the October 2016 anthology "Image and Likeness," a collection of stories with themes relating to St. John Paul II's Theology of the Body. His story "How Zeke Got Religion at 40,000 Feet" was included in the 2019 edition of SNAFU, an anthology of military fantasy/horror fiction.

John loves loaded pizzas, meaty lasagnas, killing 3-5 hours at a stretch at his local Barnes & Noble on the weekend and seeing fan art based on his works. He hates broccoli. Hates it. Still.

Image and Likeness: Literary Reflections on the Theology of the Body Oct 22, 2016

by Erin McCole Cupp, Ellen Gable, Damon Owens

( 7 )

$4.99

If St. John Paul II ever summarized his Theology of the Body, it may have been when he said, “Man cannot fully find himself except through a sincere gift of himself.” But how does this sincere gift look when lived out by human beings with all their failings? What happens to our humanity when we withhold that sincere gift? What does life require of us when we give most deeply?

Full Quiver Publishing brings you this moving collection of poetry and prose, featuring some of today’s brightest Catholic literary voices, including award-winning authors Dena Hunt, Arthur Powers, Michelle Buckman, Leslie Lynch, Theresa Linden, and many more. By turns edgy and sweet, gritty and deft, but always courageous and honest, the works contained in Image and Likeness explore countless facets of human love—and human failure. Readers of Image and Likeness will experience in a variety of ways how humanity, in flesh as well as spirit, lives out the image and likeness of a God who created human intimacy to bring forth both our future and to illustrate our ultimate meaning as human persons.

With a Foreword by international Theology of the Body voice Damon Owens, Image and Likeness puts life and breath into St. John Paul II’s Theology of the Body in ways that readers won’t soon forget.

Warning: mature themes, content and language.
