"A spectacular political thriller... it kept me up nights" - PJ O'Rourke, international best-selling author

When it dawned on John that what got him up in the morning was writing, not his day job, he quit the job. That was after 30 years in executive life. He was then an executive director in a leading investment bank. Earlier, he’d been a partner in 2 major law firms, and a director of a publishing house. He is a well-known business writer and commentator and his writing has appeared in a variety of publications in Australia and overseas including: The Australian, The Australian Financial Review, Company Director, Business Spectator, The Age, The Bulletin, and the UK’s Financial Times. As well as writing, he's a board member of two stock-exchange-listed corporations and not-for-profits, as well as a co-founder of Pantera Press. He lives in Sydney with his wife, a sculptor. They have two adult children who share their passions for the arts, books, business and philanthropy. He is the author of 'Nowhere Man'.
