I’m John Jacob Dawson. I’m a 37 year father of five and when I’m not striving to a writer I work in the IT industry.
I always find these things so hard to write, as I’m sure many of you do! All I can say is that, I love reading, any genre really but more specifically Crime and Sci-if thrillers that are more grounded in reality all my jam! I love characters that make you question their morals and your own. I love a protagonist with a genuine cause who truly believes they’re doing the right thing - even if they do questionable things to get there.
Aside from writing I love spending time with my family and going on adventures with them. I also play English 8-ball pool for my local team.
My mother's family, the Karems, immigrated to the United States from Becharre, Lebanon in the early 1900s. In Becharre, theMyy, and the town's other inhabitants served as "Keepers of the Cedars of God" for generations. This famous grove was part of the tremendous forests that used to cover most of Lebanon. In the Epic of Gilgamesh, Gilgamesh seeks fame and glory by cutting down the cedar forest. I thought this ancient tension between protectors of the environment and developers made the perfect foil for Ranger Nader & The Sunstruck Phantom, and I hope you will too.
When I'm not writing, i represent people as they navigate the tricky pathways of our legal system. For those who are interested, I have two cats, three children, and one husband.
