John S. Barker began writing when he was 15. He wrote many, many bad science fiction stories and three science fiction novels before abandoning the genre and beginning work in 1979 on what would eventually become his debut novel, Trajectory. Realizing he really didn't know anything about anything, he put writing on hold to go to university, where he learned a thing or two. He graduated from Carleton University (Ottawa) in 1985, with a Bachelor of Arts (Philosophy) with distinction. Writing took a back seat to work and family until he began writing again in 2007. His first published story, BURNT SUGAR (Crannog Magazine, 2008) inspired him to complete Trajectory, which he did in 2008. Since then, he has had several more stories published. Trajectory (Anarchy Books, 2012) is now available for Kindle at amazon.com.
