John Bond's life has been immersed in the written word. He has been a librarian, editor, book publisher, educator, publishing consultant, author, and (most importantly), avid reader. He has written six books and worked with countless authors on finding their voice and a platform to publish their work.

A devoted book collector, John's collection started with Bradbury and Vonnegut but has mushroomed into Murakami and Ted Chiang, along with non-fiction in every discipline. He lives in New Jersey and is trying to get through his ever-growing pile To Be Read.
