We thriller lovers are always looking for trouble! I hope you'll join me in my literary adventures around the world. I'm John Hopton. I'm from Yorkshire, UK, and now living in Japan. I write the kind of books I love to read: fast-paced thrillers that take readers on an international escapade. I have had lots of wonderful feedback from readers on previous books, and I really appreciate all of it. Along with international thrillers, I also wrote a travelogue. Travelling to places like India, the Middle East, Zambia, East Asia, and Brazil has given me plenty of first-hand experience to work into my novels.Along with my long-running Chris Collins CIA Thriller series, I am embarking on a new project: Tropical Airbourne Adventures starring Nora "Sierra" Byrd - a misanthropic pilot with a decorated Air Force career who now just wants peace and quiet to fix up her planes. But trouble always seems to find her. Serious trouble...I look forward to our literary travels together!
