Changes – again

There’s so much I want to do. I like writing the reviews. I like writing my stories too, but the website was getting so filled up, one was getting lost in the other. So, I decided to buy the .net version of my domain.

On this website (.com), I am going to publish my stories. On the other website (.net) I am going to publish my reviews and such. Whatever is already on that website though is going to stay there, except my poems, which I will bring back over here.

John Derossett - Writer

Everyone that knows me, knows that I like to write about crime. That is my focus on the book I am working on, but a writer likes to write about a lot of different things.

Publishers used to think that readers would become “confused” if a writer writes on more than one topic or genre. I don’t know where that might have come from, and though I think it’s bullshit, I still like to focus on one topic for my own decision.

So, when these other stories start working their way out of me, I will publish them here, so my readers can get an idea of my eclectic taste in writing. You should probably also know that I have literally hundreds of articles posted on other websites as well. These are articles I was hired to write, and I am proud to say that I have written for GMC, Angie’s List, The Family Handyman and I even had a couple of articles published on Taste of Home. I maintain a small portfolio on Clear Voice to highlight some of my best work.

John Derossett

John was born in Baltimore, Maryland, and spent his formative years in the quiet town of Rowlesburg, West Virginia, where he attended high school. In 1984, seeking adventure and purpose, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy, serving honorably until his discharge in 1988. His time in the Navy gave him a lifelong love of travel, discipline, and stories of life at sea that have inspired much of his writing. John has one daughter from his first marriage and, for the past two decades, has shared his life with his wife Marlene. Together, they have raised a family of five stepchildren, building a home filled with love, laughter, and chaos. They currently reside in Hemet, California, along with their three rescue dogs—Belle, Hachie, and Elvis—who keep them busy with boundless energy and charm. When John isn’t writing, he enjoys exploring the outdoors, cooking, and spending time with family. His experiences across the country and on the open seas have shaped his stories, offering readers heartfelt glimpses of adventure, resilience, and the power of community.
