About the Author

John Wesley volunteers at the local elementary school, reading Bible stories and Indian legends and bringing his real-life pets, Goliath, Misty, and Captain, to the children. (Around there, he’s affectionately known as the “Birdman.”) Semi-retired, Wesley also works part-time in the food service industry.

A widower, his beloved wife Mary Ann passed away in 2009; they were married for 22 years. In spite of any trials he’s faced throughout his lifetime, Wesley believes he has been truly blessed by the Lord.
