Link to a pdf of his novel. He wanted it out there, so no copyright violation:

Unintended Consequences is a fine book.. I still use some of the quotes from the book.. For example, whenever I see Nasty Nancy Pelosi, I’ll say, “It’s time to feed the hogs”. :)

in 1995, John published his first and best-known novel Unintended Consequences, which has sold over 100,000 copies as of 2022

And untold millions of downloads.

Never heard of him or his book. What shocked me was the title. I wrote a science fiction novel in early 2000s with the exact same title. Still unpublished and a work in progress with hopes to publish in next year or two.

RIP... I have a copy of UC on the book shelf behind me right now. It’s kinda worn and dog-eared at this point.

And yes, required reading.

I have a mostly pristine, signed (extremely rare) First Edition. As I recall, there were only a few hundred.

It might be time to sell it...

Ok, sorry I missed it, how old was he?

I read his book three times. Best novel I’ve ever read, and I generally don’t read fiction, but his is the longest you’ll never want to put down.

God bless, a great one has passed.

I always wanted to meet him. There was some old YouTube videos of him doing a machine gun shoot on his property.
I emailed him long ago offering to do an audiobook voicing for UC. He never replied -didn’t expect him to, though.
