John Fuller was born in Vancouver, WA, raised in Santa Barbara, CA, and has spent the last twenty-four years living in Chico, CA. From the time of his adolescence he has been interested in English, Music, and Art, for which he studied at multiple institutions, including Santa Barbara City College, University of Illinois at Chicago Circle, Syracuse University, and UCSB. He has done everything from being a Comic Book illustrator, to a taxi driver in NYC, to a Radiologic Technologist and ‘part-time’ real estate developer: all of which have given him his particularly unique and personal perspective from which to draw upon as he at last embarks on writing full-time. He is married and a father of four children.
