This website is evolving and we are going to transition it into John Derossett Publishing, an independent publishing company that is dedicated to bringing readers unique poetry and compelling stories.

Thiunk of this as the heart of my new venture, and it will continue to grow with new stories and poem that will inspire and connect with my audience. So let’s take a look at the proposed changes I will be making to this website. First though let me say, that we will also be attaching a YouTube channel to this website where you will be able to access a variety of content including narrated short stories and poetry.

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.
