John Anthony was born and raised in West Saint Paul, Minnesota. He grew up being tortured by three younger sisters, who have grown to be three of his best friends. They have given him three brothers, five beautiful nieces, an incredible nephew, and another on the way.
Christmas has always been a very important time of year in his family. Reading and telling Christmas stories is something he has enjoyed doing since he was a child. He is a licensed massage therapist with his own practice in Saint Paul, and lives with his partner of five years in West Saint Paul. The Journey of Joseph Winter is his first published work.
