John Richard Stephens
Author and Editor

Most of John's twenty-three books have been repeatedly published in various editions by a number of the world's top publishers, which is why you'll see several different covers for many of the books listed below. His books include Commanding the Storm, Weird History 101, Wyatt Earp Speaks, Voodoo, Adventure!, The King of the Cats, and Mark Twain's Hawaii.

Before becoming a writer, John gained experience in a wide variety of occupations ranging from work as a psychiatric counselor in two hospitals and three mental health facilities to being an intelligence officer and squadron commander in the U.S. Air Force.

His books have been selections of the Preferred Choice Book Club, the Quality Paperback Book Club, the Book of the Month Club, and the Civil War Trust. His work has been published as far away as India and Singapore and has been translated into Japanese and Finnish.

John also has the distinguished honor of being quoted around the world in lists of quotations and in several books next to such luminaries as Abraham Lincoln, Mark Twain, Lord Byron and Franz Kafka.
