John
Ringo is a New York Times bestselling author of
science fiction and thriller novels with over two
million novels in print, translated into seven
languages and enjoyed worldwide.
John
Ringo had visited 23 countries and attended 14
schools by the time he graduated high school. This
left him with a wonderful appreciation of the
oneness of humanity and a permanent aversion to
foreign food.
The author chose to study marine biology and really
liked it. Unfortunately the pay is for beans. So he
turned to database management where the pay was much
better. His highest hopes were to someday upgrade to
SQL Server at which point, he thought, his life
would be complete.
But then Fate took a hand: John became a
professional science fiction writer and since his
publisher assured him that all science fiction
authors became immensely successful, he was given
the standard "rich and famous" contract. Somewhat
confused by the fine print, he nonetheless signed in
blood.
Since that fateful day, he has published numerous
science fiction novels at a rate that amazed and
offended his publisher, who hadn't intended him to
get that rich and famous. With over a million copies
in print, he also has done stints as an op-ed writer
for the New York Post and a guest commentator for
Fox News, thus ensuring the loss of what little soul
was left.
With his younger years spent in the Airborne, cave
diving, rock-climbing, rappelling, hunting,
spear-fishing and sailing, the author is now happy
to let other people risk their necks. He prefers to
read, and of course write, science fiction, hang out
in cigar bars and look for new ways to pledge his
remaining bits of soul. He's thinking… Hollywood …
They won't care if it's tarnished…
