John Carpenter

John is a native son of Oklahoma, growing up in Midwest City, and matriculating at Oklahoma State University (B.S., Sociology).

John attributes his newfound passion for writing to his work as a US Probation Officer, writing pre-sentence reports. That job skill, combined with social media, converged, and he began to write for pleasure.

John’s diverse background includes job stints as a Yoga, Pilates, and Spin teacher (currently). He has also been a Homebuilder, Junior and Senior High Wrestling Coach, and substitute teacher. His friends consider John the “go-to-guy” concerning any aspect of the 60s, 70s, and rock music with an emphasis on Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, the Beatles and Big Star!
