John Grisham is an American novelist, known for his popular legal thrillers. Born February 8, 1955 in Jonesboro, Arkansas, John Grisham's childhood dream was to become a professional baseball player. However, he gave up baseball at the age of 18 and earned a law degree from University of Mississippi School of Law. He practiced law for nearly a decade specializing in criminal defense and personal injury litigation before he was elected to the Mississippi House of Representatives in 1984.

He quickly began working on his second novel, the Firm, published in 1991, a book that made his writing hobby a career.
