I have written many books which feature original art and original short stories-but after a pancreatic cancer scare (fortunately misdiagnosed), my son Stott suggested this as a topic for a book. My dear sister, Mary Ellen, advised me she didn't want to hear "death" in the title, hence the clever tease. It's apt. Actually some of the stories are hopeful, even funny.
Some do deal with final days. Others address renewal. But what I discovered in this exercise is that nothing is more important. Life should not be about shopping sprees, escapism, and goofball sitcoms. So I did it and a day before my chemotherapy, my esteemed doctor declared, "it's not cancer."
After 30 years as an international advertising director, John decided to "reinvent" himself as an artist and writer.
His artwork has been exhibited throughout the United States, Europe (Italy, the U.K., Germany, France, Ireland) and Asia (Japan, Thailand). Fortunately, has had more than a dozen solo shows.
Along the way, he has written 25 books- many novels, many art and short story books (4), art and poetry (4), several children's books, novellas, and memoirs.
