John Byrnes has worked bars and doors in pubs and clubs all over Australia, on fishing trawlers out of Darwin, and served in the Australian Army. Eventually, John put on a tie and studied economics, working for the Sydney Futures Exchange, Deutsche Bank and in financial services until 2023.
John started writing in 2015 and has a fascination with the darker aspects of the human condition; the addicted, the malevolent, the scarred. He cheers for the outsider, the slacker, the contrarian, the non-conformist.
Born in Sydney, John now lives on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales with his wife and three children.
