Recorded at SHOT Show 2026, we delve into his upcoming book, *Scorched Earth*, and the evolution of the Jonathan Grave series, highlighting the interplay of justice and morality. John shares insights from his background as a firefighter and paramedic, which informs his realistic writing about firearms.
We discuss his creative process shaped by mentorship and military culture, along with the balance between authenticity and reader engagement. John emphasizes the need for personal responsibility and ongoing education in the concealed carry community, rounding out our conversation with a focus on the narrative obligations of responsible gun ownership.
