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 was proud and excited about his first novel, that excitement
paled in comparison to Cold Tears and Journey of the Spirit. In April his
blockbuster historical fiction, Journey of the Spirit, hit the shelves. In September, the sequel to Code of Deceit, Cold Tears, exploded on the
market. John loved this book, and others agreed. In a worldwide readers’ poll,
they voted Cold Tears the best mystery in the world. John’s extremely excited about his next two. Color of Murder hits the shelves
in August of 2008, and Tattered Justice follows. John is a member of Mystery Writers of America, Romance Writers of America,
Elements of Romance, Kiss of Death, Lethal Ladies, Sisters-in-Crime, East Texas
Writers Guild, League of Texas Writers, and more online writing groups than he
can count. He is a full time writer and speaker and lives in Lufkin, Texas, but
travels extensively across the
U.S.
