John Sharer

Visit John at JohnHSharer.com. JOHN SHARER was a boy in London during WWII and remembers bombings, food shortages, and deaths. His father, a British officer, was commandant of a POW camp in North Africa, housing captured German and Italian officers. HONOR KNOWS NO BORDERS was his first book and was loosely based on his and his father’s wartime experiences. In his teens, Sharer lived and worked in early 1950s Mississippi before the civil rights era. His experience in the segregated South loosely provided the background for his second book THE COCKNEY LAD AND JIM CROW (2015).

After becoming a U.S. citizen, he graduated from UCLA as an undergraduate and then Law School and has practiced as a trial lawyer for many years, mainly in California. In addition to practicing law, he is an adjunct professor at Pepperdine Law School where he teaches trial advocacy related skills. He has two children and two grandchildren whose names he used for characters in his new children’s book, ANTS DON'T TALK, DO THEY?

John H. Sharer lives in Los Angeles with his wife.
