John White grew up on a steady diet of great 1960s and 1970s science fiction television and movies, including The Twilight Zone, Star Trek, Star Wars, and Planet of the Apes and its sequels. He was profoundly influenced by Marvel Comics, J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, and (for better or worse) by Dungeons & Dragons.

After spending years writing and trying to sell screenplays, he finally returned to his true love: fantasy—writing and publishing A Dead Place Calls, the novelette prequel to First Evil.

John lives in California with his wife where he writes fantasy novels, watches his son play volleyball, and enjoys the best Mexican food and sunsets in the world. And, he still plays Dungeons & Dragons.

First Evil is his first, full-length fantasy novel.
