John Mayer

Biography

John Mayer would love to be a top-flight blues guitar player and have dated Jennifer Aniston. But all he ever did in life was to be a 1970s Indie Record Producer before becoming a top-flight Advocate in the Supreme Court of Scotland where he specialized in international child abduction: rescuing the children, not abducting them, of course.
In his youth, John was shot! Twice! Once in Glasgow, Scotland and once in New York City. John attacks everything he does with an intellectual passion as hot as the fires of Hell. And that's what he brings to all of his novels in The Parliament House Books.

Smashwords Interview

What and where is Parliament House?
Parliament House is real. It's on the world famous Royal Mile in Edinburgh, Scotland and was completed in 1532 - yes, that's not a typo, I mean 1532. It was purpose built to be the Supreme Court of Scotland and it still is. All human life has been passing through this building for nearly 500 years, so it's a great source of stories. I was a practicing Advocate in Parliament House for 20 years, so I know the place inside and out.
What made you stop practicing law and become a novelist?
Well, we only get one life and I want to do several things with mine. When I got to 60 years old it was time to indulge my passion for writing in general and get started. I've written other books [Nuclear Peace etc] and learned articles. But the Parliament House Books is a real Calling. Also, I can write anywhere. I have a house on a tiny Greek island where I also have a fishing boat; so I write in Edinburgh, Greece, anywhere. I've always loved analyzing ideas and assembling them into court cases. I'm now transferring those skills into fiction. Btw, I did practice a lot before publishing.
