John Bushore - Author

Too Damn Much Information about John : (and a bit of braggadocio at no extra charge)

Over the last decade, dozens of my stories and poems have been published in magazines and anthologies, both print and on-line. I am the author of 3 published books, WHAT'S UNDER THE BED? (Children's fantasy poetry, Sam's Dot Publishing 2003), FRIENDS IN DARK PLACES (Sci/Fi suspense, Sam's Dot Publishing 2006), and THE PRISONERS OF GENDER (Paranormal romance, Eternal Press 2009).  Two of my short stories were selected for a university course on Gothic and Horror Literature. I'm also a 3-time winner of the independently-judged James Baker Award from Sam's Dot Publishing.

I write for children as MonkeyJohn, and my stories and poems are regularly included in Beyond Centauri, a quarterly s/f magazine for younger readers.

I live in Chesapeake, Virginia with my wife Diane and assorted dogs, cats, chickens, horses and other varmints. I have two grown children, Travis and Jacquelyn. A Vietnam veteran, I reside on land re-claimed by the digging of the Dismal Swamp Canal in the early 19th century and am very interested in the history of the region.

I am proud to have been included in these magazines and anthologies, among others:
