About the Author
Background
John Dizon spent his first thirty years living in New York before moving to San Antone where he spent eighteen years. He now lives in Kansas City. These have been rich and rewarding experience as they are entirely disparate areas with unique cultures. Though most of his novels are based in New York, he has written scenes in Texas and Missouri and will continue to do so. It allows readers from North and South, East and West to identify with his characters and recognize the authentic backdrops in his novels.
Work and Study
He started university study as a music major but switched to English. He is now completing an MA in English. During his working career he spent six years completing insurance claims and this gave him great insight into the pharmaceutical industry as well as the dark side of corporate politics. Office politics are prevalent in all walks of life, so he is able to inject this obsequious and treacherous atmosphere into his novels as needed.
