John Pearson

John Pearson writes humorous adult fiction that spotlights the chaotic, awkward, and laugh-out-loud aspects of everyday life. As the mind behind the universally acclaimed Learn Me Good trilogy, John spent thirteen years as a public school teacher, turning the stories and experiences with his students and fellow educators into three epistolary novels that resonate with anyone who has ever survived a classroom (or a faculty meeting). His newest work, Christmas Movie Night, is based on a long-standing family tradition, with a splendid mix of mischief, absurdity, and lemon-bar loving crooks thrown in.

Those who are fans of televised game shows may have seen John win the 2013 Jeopardy! Teachers Tournament, lose the 2014 Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions, and win his 2024 episode of Trivial Pursuit. On at least two of those occasions, he told his story of trying out for the 1992 championship Duke men's basketball team - cracking up both Alex Trebek and Lavar Burton, in turn.
