John Ferneau-Leinen

After completing a course of study in the Writer's Digest School in 1989. I began writing short stories, both fiction and non-fiction. Published some, but also accumulated a desk drawer full of rejections. Finally tired of the: Not for us, Like story, but have too many similar, Closed to submissions for the next two years, I chucked it all, gave up and sat around with my finger up my nose. Then with the dawning of the age of e-publishing, I dusted off Microsoft Word and went at it again in 2010. Since embracing self publishing I have enjoyed a moderate amount of success. My latest book 'Swimming Naked' is available both in paperback and digital, and has sold well. I'm not getting rich by any means, but that's not why I write. I write because I enjoy it, enjoy crafting and telling the story. Soon to be released, my second novel 'The MacDoon Mission' a work of historical fiction.
