About the Author

John Achor's writing assignments have appeared in a variety of local, national and international publications. He enjoys writing about, "The subjects I know best: the military, flying and people I've known." After that, John says he lets a vivid imagination take over.

The first of his three careers spanned twenty years as a U.S. Air Force pilot. He accumulated over 4,000 hours flying planes from J-3 Piper Cubs (PA-18) to the military equivalent of the Boeing 707 (KC/RC-135). He also had a number of assignments in strategic reconnaissance programs in Alaska, Omaha and the Pentagon.

After the military, he entered the real estate industry. He joined a national real estate franchise as a management consultant working at the regional and national levels. Those positions led him to Phoenix, Arizona and an affiliation with a major Savings & Loan institution.

In John's words, "When the Savings and Loan industry melted away like a lump of sugar in hot coffee, I knew it was time to develop a third career." He became a freelance computer instructor, user-developer, consultant, writer and Community College instructor.

In May of 1999, John moved to Hot Springs Village, Arkansas where he resides with his wife Pat and their two cats, (l to r) Lexus and Betsy Ross.
John is currently devoting his time to writing and supporting his favorite organizations. On the right, John enjoys a relaxing day in the piney woods with one of his favorite writing instruments.
