ⓘ About John W. Dennehy
John grew up on a lake in the state of New Hampshire, which he attributes to his creativity. After he graduated from Pinkerton Academy, he served in the United States Marines. He graduated from Suffolk Law and UNC Wilmington. John was also a Partner in a Boston law firm for a number of years. And he is a member of the Mystery Writers of America and International Thriller Writers. John loves chocolate labs and is an avid fly fisherman. Most of John’s ideas come from some insertion, meaning some image forms or something comes to mind. Then he plays it out in his mind and figures out if it works as a book or short story length piece. Some ideas come from his real life with a sort of creative twist, or he envisions something and goes with it.
