John E. Riddle was born and raised in Southern California. Unlike many of his favorite authors---none of whom he has ever met---he does not have a wife or one and a half lovable children at home, nor does he have a dog named Buster or a cat named Fluffy. He received his academic education from San Diego State University, Pepperdine University, and UCLA. He served in the military as a Naval Aviator. He received further heuristic education by pursuing several entrepreneurial opportunities encompassing---real estate, real estate development, securities, financial strategies, banking, education, and medical technologies and has probably forgotten more than a handful of other unusual opportunities. Since the Great Real Estate Crash of 2008, John became a prolific writer. He has published six new novels with a few others waiting to be introduced in the not too distant future. He does have multiple sons who are attempting to complete college, in between skiing, surfing, partying, and chasing girls (not necessarily in that order). Feel free to visit John on Facebook.
