John C. Brewer

John grew up in the four corners of the United States: the Atlantic Coast, the Desert Southwest, the Pacific Northwest, and the Deep South, and loves them all. He’s been a rocket scientist, a motorcycle mechanic, a cabinetmaker, and once drove nuclear submarines. John’s love of history and technology, and his background in physics, led to THE SILLA PROJECT, a novel about North Korea and nuclear weapons, which was a finalist for the 2013 Eric Hoffer Award and the Montaigne Medal. His writing is driven by an interest in the intersection of technology and humanity, possibly the greatest cultural phenomenon of our times. He writes from the international high-tech hub of Huntsville, Alabama, home of the U.S. rocket industry.
