Sharing his love of travel, John also leads literary tours to the settings in his novels. A seventh, Unbound, about the Great Wall of China, was published in 2018. His first six novels, Beneath a Marble Sky (an international bestseller), Beside a Burning Sea, Dragon House, The Wishing Trees, Cross Currents, and Temple of a Thousand Faces have won multiple awards, and have been translated into twenty-six languages. Now a full-time novelist, he spends his days writing and going on family outings with his wife, Allison, and their two young children, Sophie and Jack. Shors has spent much of his life abroad, traveling in Asia, the South Pacific, Europe, Africa, and North America. John then moved to Boulder, Colorado, and helped launch GroundFloor Media, now one of the state’s largest public relations firms. After returning to the United States, he became a newspaper reporter in his hometown, Des Moines, Iowa, winning several statewide awards in journalism. Publishers make digital review copies and audiobooks available for the NetGalley community to discover, request, read, and review. Later, he trekked across Asia on a shoestring budget, visiting ten countries and climbing the Himalayas. NetGalley helps publishers and authors promote digital review copies to book advocates and industry professionals.
After graduating from Colorado College, John Shors lived for several years in Kyoto, Japan, where he taught English.
