ⓘ About John Verdon

John Verdon held several executive positions with Manhattan advertising firms before relocating with his wife to rural upstate New York. Think of a Number, his first novel, reached incredible proportions, selling more than $1 million in international sales with 27 foreign publishers purchasing book rights. The book landed on several bestseller lists. His other novels, Shut Your Eyes Tight and Let The Devil Sleep are both international bestsellers. As a child, born in New York City, John Verdon always longed to be somewhere else, have something else, and also be someone who he was not but wanted to be. He always had dreams and ambitions that needed to be fulfilled in another place altogether. And John Verdon yearned for that change. For him, the present was a place to escape from.
