John Wilson
Author of: Four Steps to Death
Place of birth: Isle of Skye, Scotland
Place of residence: Vancouver Island, B.C.
 Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, John Wilson grew up on the Isle of Skye
and outside Glasgow without the slightest idea that he would ever
write books. After a degree in Geology from St. Andrews University, he
worked in Zimbabwe and Alberta before taking up writing full-time and
moving out to Vancouver Island in 1991.
John has used a long-standing fascination with history to craft fifteen
novels and five non-fiction books for kids, teens and adults. John firmly
believes that the past must have been just as exciting, confusing and complex
to those who lived through it as our world is to us. His tales involve
dinosaurs, lost Arctic explorers, socialist coal miners and boys caught
up in the First and Second World Wars.
Interesting Fact: John's only direct experience of war was in Zimbabwe between 1975
and 1977. He was doing geological field work and had to dodge land mines and carry
a rifle. Fortunately, he never came upon a land mine or used his rifle before he managed
to flee to the safety of Canada.
