John Spafford

John M. Spafford is an award-winning espionage and suspense author renowned for his tense, atmospheric storytelling and complex, deeply nuanced characters. Drawing inspiration from locations ranging from the wild, untamed landscapes of the American wilderness to major cities around the world, his work explores the fault lines of fear and desire and freedom and sacrifice. During his Air Force career as an intelligence analyst, he travelled the world, developing relationships and exploring places famous and not-so-famous before returning to journalism as a civilian. In addition to his work as a best-selling novelist, he is a successful playwright, musician, and actor. Lyre River, his latest novel, is the result of five years of teaching Sociology in a maximum-security prison.
