Meet the Author

John H. Carroll was the youngest of seven children and was born in Atlanta, Georgia in 1970 where he was kept in a dresser drawer with the clean socks. Luckily, he wasn’t kept with the dirty socks or else he might have grown up to become slightly warped.

As a child, John spent most of his time wandering through the Mojave Desert in an attempt to avoid people. He would stare at the sky, imagining what it would be like to explore different worlds. One of his favorite memories is watching his dad build the fuselage of Evel Kneivel’s skycycle in their garage. One of his least favorite moments was watching that skycycle fall into the Snake River. (Not his dad’s fault and he has documentation to prove it, so nyah)

As a teenager, John spent most of his time driving wherever he could in an attempt to avoid people. He would stare at the road, imagining what it would be like to explore different worlds. He was the captain of the chess team, lettered in golf and band while in high school, and wasn’t beaten up anywhere near as much as one might imagine.

As an adult, John spends most of his time staring at a computer screen in an attempt to avoid people. He stares at the monitor for hours, imagining what it would be like to explore different worlds. He has been married to his wonderful wife for 14 years and they have three obnoxio . . . wonderful children who always behave . . . when they’re asleep.

Emo bunny minions surround John at most times. He is their imaginary friend and they look to him for guidance. At one point, they took over the world. No one noticed because they left everything exactly as it was. They gave the world back after a week because it was depressing.

The Willden Trilogy is his first endeavor into the field of writing. Other series and standalone works will be forthcoming. In addition, John has written a number of short stories he publishes for free because he likes you so much. (And it’s good marketing. Shh) He writes in the evenings and weekends whenever possible. Regrettably, the family mentioned in the previous paragraph desires food and shelter, requiring the author to possess a full time job until his writing makes him rich.

    Cute but short

    I really enjoyed this short story. I wish it had been a full book! The possibility for a second story is nice and hopefully more with these chatacters will surface. I liked the fact that the ending wasnt a happy one because that would have been unrealistic for the situation. Hope to see another volume to this storyline. :)

    A work in progress...

    The central theme of this short story shows promise, but more care needs to be taken with character development. I liked the ideas and the direction they were moving, but was never truly convinced about who the characters were or the newly discovered love they felt for one another. If I am to read a story where love is the central theme, I want to believe it. It is, in short, an all or nothing affair.

    A 'bit' of a letdown

    The lack of resolution at the end of the story was a major disappointment. For a moment, I thought that Josh had a special 'ability' to see his alien that would make him acceptable to her culture. However, no go for either!

    Not worth your time

    This 'author' must either be 12 years old or a valley girl.

    The writing was horrible. The author used descriptors such as "and stuff'. His use of the word 'like' in dialog showed a distinct lack of intelligence. His knowledge of dating, or lack there of, shows in his lame attempt at having his characters interact.

    The cover was more interesting than this book.
