D. John Watson grew up in Mansfield Connecticut, near the main campus of UCONN.  Growing up asthmatic, he spent a lot of time reading and drawing.  He fell in love with the possibilities of fantasy and science fiction used those to fuel his art with an eye to becoming a professional illustrator.   His love of these genres drew him first to study art at another nearby university and then to turn those illustrations into writing.  
While researching a short story, he took a sample martial arts class and was soon on his way to accomplishing something that he never expected to do as a child, becoming a martial instructor.  He became an assistant instructor and eventually the rank of 2nd Dan.  
D. John was also a contributing columnist for All Authors Magazine and has published two short stories in All Authors Publishing House's Concordant Vibrancy anthologies.  
D. John is married and lives with his wife and son in western Mass where he works as a restaurant manager and is currently working on the next chapter in the Chronicles of Irindia series as well as other projects.
