Five years ago, John left behind sixteen years as a successful corporate lawyer to focus on family, health and the pursuit of his childhood dream of becoming a freelance writer and author. He's since established himself as a freelance writer in the areas of law and business. Hazardous Goods is his first novel. John lives in the outskirts of Toronto with his extraordinarily tolerant wife and three overly intelligent children. Sam the cat lives with them, continually plotting their demise.
