John Wayne Falbey is a modern Renaissance man: attorney, martial artist, real estate developer, triathlete, university professor, competitive cyclist, lecturer, downhill skier, author, and adventurer. He draws on these experiences and more to create novels in the thriller genres. His motto is "Timidity is not the stuff of legends". He wrote his first novel in his "spare time" (1:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m.) as a student at Vanderbilt University School of Law. It was a means of combating the tediousness of law school - endless case briefings. He also holds Masters and Doctoral degrees in business management and is a frequent lecturer, panelist, and moderator in the real estate development industry. He is the author of the techno-political thriller Sleeping Dogs: The Awakening, the first in a planned trilogy. His latest novel, The Quixotics, is a tale of gunrunning, insurgency, and adventure in the Caribbean. When not traveling for business or pleasure, he and his wife live in Naples, Florida.
