John Etterlee

Thanks for visiting John Etterlee's Amazon page! John Etterlee is a retired U.S. Army combat Veteran, thriller and suspense novelist, lover of horses and other animals, and adventurer. Born in Augusta, Georgia, he joined the United States Army in 2001, shortly after the attacks of September 11th, 2001 and served multiple tours overseas before being medically retired in 2013. John'a first wartime experience was when he took part in the Iraq invasion in 2003, spending a few months in the harsh southern Iraq desert before moving closer to Baghdad. His longest deployment was a thirteen-month tour to southeastern Baghdad with 2-30 Infantry, 4th Brigade, 10th Mountain Division from 2007 to 2009. This was by far the toughest. Having been in two IED blasts himself, John's unit also came under indirect mortar fire, small arms, rocket and RPG fire on a regular basis. John lost a few friends on that deployment. Although John has always enjoyed writing, it wasn’t until recovering from surgery that he began to take it more seriously. Writing has since become a passion for him, and he loves to share his stories with the world of book lovers. Aside from writing, some of John’s hobbies and interests include traveling, (especially to Europe and the mountains) shooting, horses, learning new languages, meeting new people, and music. As a thriller/suspense novelist and Army Veteran, John likes to use the experiences he gained while serving his country to create compelling and realistic stories that entertain the masses. Writing is utterly addicting to John, and he looks forward to crafting stories that thrill his readers for the foreseeable future. John now lives in North Carolina with his wife Elizabeth, whom he met while stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington State in 2011, along with a few furry kids. He loves horses, traveling, especially to Europe, the mountains, and meeting new people. FUN FACT: When John is not writing he enjoys being outdoors, and especially shooting his guns. John is into all firearms, but especially long-range sniper weapon systems.
