ⓘ About John W. Mefford
John has been a voracious reader of mystery thrillers since before he was able to shave, and as a result he enjoys weaving a twisty story that keeps his readers riveted until the final page. And he’s also learned he’s rather good at embellishing, but don’t tell his fourth grade teacher that. He writes novels filled with suspense, intrigue, and thrills, yet they also evoke this emotional connection with his characters. When John’s not busy writing, he chases three children around, reads, slaves away in his yard, takes in as many sports as time will allow, watches all kinds of movies, and continues to make his mental notes of societies and people all across the land. “Fatal Greed” is the first novel in the “Greed” series and was released in 2014. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Alex Troutt Books series, John W. Mefford has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
