I’m a forensic psychologist and story-collector, with a history of working in prison, court, locked psychiatric facilities and emergency rooms. The most important certainty I carry, from all my time working with inmates and patients and onlookers, is that the only real difference between “us” and “them” is who carries the key to leave. And that everything we experience, from crippling anxiety to serial murder, is not always rational, but there is a logic to it. I can make things understandable.

Leon Battista Alberti (1404–72) said “a person can do all things if they will.” I live and create by that motto. When it comes to writing I have created a series of epic length fantasy novels. That work of art is supported by woodworking, linguistics, Photoshop, Indesign, podcasting, Audible, 3D jewelry design and any other venture I care to tackle to make my stories worth listening to. With such a wide variety of experience and interests I am a fascinating author to interview and connect with. I look forward to meeting you. 

I am 60 years of age and have lived a very full life. I follow a creed that no matter what your hand finds to do, you should throw yourself at it and enjoy every minute of the experience. Don’t waste your time with complex personal plans, get moving and do something. I spent 8 summers planting trees and in the end I planted over half a million of them. I learned to keep moving, plant one at a time and go on to the next one. The same philosophy saw me create an amazing set of fantasy novels that also total a half a million words. You just keep going, one word at a time. My personal core values of Community, Celebration and Creativity are guided by my Creativity Manifesto and I create every single day. I have many personal stories that I would love to share with your listeners.

“Humans are not ideally set up to understand logic; they are ideally set up to understand stories.” ~ Roger C. Schank, Cognitive Scientist

Since young boyhood, John has tried to be a compassionate person. He has been in love with the English language for as long as he can remember. His parents read to John and his siblings and told them stories. They had a small standing whiteboard with the alphabet surrounding the edges. John would choose letters and write them on the board, asking his Mother if they made a word. She told him he amazed her with how often his letter choices formed actual words.

   John has found richness in many art forms. He draws and paints (mostly portraits), writes songs, and is very active in theatre. In his fifth grade library he discovered mythology books, supported by his teacher. He also started reading Shakespeare’s plays—though there was much in the plays that he didn’t understand, he fell in love with the language. In junior high John started writing poetry, and in high school he edited the school’s creative writing publication, which he did again when at Graceland College. 

   John got a B.A. in English. His first semester two friends, who did plays, dragged him to the auditions for Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. He got cast in two small parts, and fell in love with theatre. John got a strong minor in theatre, and wrote a play his senior year that was a finalist for a national contest. John continued writing and a few years later earned his Master’s in theatre from Central Missouri University. He was commissioned to write a play about local history, which he directed for the town’s theatre group, and wrote another play, Children of the Pelican, for his Master’s thesis.

   John then went straight to UC—Santa Barbara, where got his doctorate in Dramatic Art. He directed some one act plays from the play-writing program. He also appeared in some other plays. He wrote his dissertation about a San Francisco production of a play about Jesus at the same time California was preparing for a vote on a new state constitution. Eugene O’Neill’s father, James O’Neill, was arrested for playing Christ on a professional stage.

   During his last summer, John went to Kirtland, Ohio to direct and act in a play he had been commissioned to write by the Community of Christ for the 150th anniversary of the dedication of the Kirtland Temple. He later received special citations from two different history associations.

   John has written many blogs on Kansas City history, and several stories and poems for children. He also has a book titled The Prayer of Mathias and Other Plays for Worship.

   He is now working to get a publisher for his novel, Quite at Leisure, or, Second Impressions, his sequel to Pride and Prejudice, or, First Impressions.

   John is in his 30th year of marriage to his wonderful and beautiful wife, Hemdah Salonimer-Horner, a brilliant pianist and piano teacher.

Sharon Hart-Green’s debut novel COME BACK FOR ME is a gripping story of trauma, loss, and the redemptive power of love set in the aftermath of World War II. It was chosen as the inaugural fiction offering of The New Jewish Press (a new imprint of the University of Toronto Press). It was released on June 1, 2017 (paper) and Jan. 2020 (ebook).

Sharon received her PhD in Judaic Studies from Brandeis University and has taught Hebrew and Yiddish literature at the University of Toronto. Her first book NOT A SIMPLE STORY (Lexington Books) was a study of the work of Hebrew novelist S. Y. Agnon. Her second book, BRIDGING THE DIVIDE (Syracuse University Press), is a compilation of her translations of the Hebrew poems of Hava Pinhas-Cohen.

In addition, Sharon’s short stories, poems, translations, and reviews have appeared in a number of publications, including Midstream, The Jewish Review of Books, and JewishFiction.net.

She is currently at work on a second novel, about the mystical inclinations of a young man in search of love.
