John Fishwick

John Fishwick grew up on the Isle of Man--home of the Manx cat and the first country in the world to give the vote to women. He earned a degree in chemistry and geology from England’s Liverpool University then promptly joined the British Army to study Russian with British Intelligence. Following two wonderful years in Canada as a field geologist, he emigrated to the US where, after working on a top secret project for the government, he became a citizen.

The founder and principal operator of a high-tech materials company that has been in business for over forty years, John also holds various patents and enjoys lecturing on various subjects such as astronomy, geology, evolution theory, and logic, critical thinking, climate change, energy sources, and the relation of art and science to universities, colleges, and world-wide on cruise ships. He is a longtime member of Mensa.

Previous publishing projects include over fifty technical articles, as well as a nonfiction book entitled The Applications of Lithium in Ceramics. He cautions prospective buyers to beware-once you put it down you can’t pick it up! His current writing focuses on fiction with the recent release of The Yellowstone Affair, sequel to the novel, A Flight to Romance. Other titles will follow.

John is proud to have a son who is a professor of computer science at UT in Dallas and a granddaughter who recently graduated from Harvard Law School.

He spends his time between Southwest Florida and the mountains of North Carolina where he and his lovely companion, Sheryl Roper, enjoy playing bridge.
