About Me:
Best-selling author John Foxjohn epitomizes the phrase; “been there—done that.” 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, a multi-published author.

His first novel, Code of Deceit, a murder mystery, became a best-seller three months after its release. In a reader’s choice poll, Code of Deceit ranked number twenty of all novels released in 2006.

Although John is proud and excited about his first novel, that pales in comparison to his excitement for the next two that will be released in 2007. In April his blockbuster historical fiction, Journey of the Spirit hits the shelves.

In September, the sequel to Code of Deceit, Cold Tears, will explode on the market. John believes this may be one of the best mysteries to hit the market in a long time.

John is a member of Mystery Writers of America, Romance Writers of America, Elements of Romance, Sisters-in-Crime, and League of Texas Writers. He is a full time writer and speaker and lives in Lufkin, Texas.

    John:
    Your books are definately on my reading list. One of my reading hobbies is any mystery set in Texas. The legal thriller I'm writing is set in West Texas. You have a fascinating background. I hope that I can contact you, if you don't mind. We have a lot of Texas mystery writers here; we should ban together somehow!

    Best Wishes,
    Anne
