About the Author
On a 1950’s black and white television, John Bushby was introduced to the dark and cynical spies of the forties. The pessimistic worlds of film noir full of intrigue and suffering provided a familiar escape from his war-hardened father, a sister – disabled from birth, and a distraught and abused mother.
His worldly awareness continued to be shaped by his military service during the Vietnam War followed by thirty years of global business experience. The international business environment during the 1980s and 1990s provided dramatic highs and lows that echo the drama of the genre. His experiences in Europe and Asia during this time have influenced John’s realistic depictions of the world. His characters are extensions of his own experiences with life. Flawed and sometimes capricious, each protagonist has something he is willing to give and at the same time hide away, deep in his soul.
Deeply researched, and with situations adapted from real events and headlines of those times between the wars, these novels are, like those film noir masterpieces that so captivated him, the author’s view of what might have been.
