Donovan, John M.

John M DonovanComments from the author about writing: I've been writing all my life, but didn't really hit my stride till I turned 50. My goal is to write thoughtful and entertaining books with timeless themes, and while so far they've all been set in the Midwest I think they're easy for all people to relate to. The first two novels are episodic and semi-autobiographical; the most recent, The Rocheville Devil, is a psychological drama about a man who attempts to escape the brutality of the world by taking up residence in his abandoned grade school building and reliving childhood memories.
