Author Information

"John Leone is the author of two series of children's books. Inspired by his grandson and looking for a creative spark to his retirement, this Gloucester County author took a page from literature and a few aquarium trips to develop a compelling and humorous storyline that centers around Sharklock Bones and Mike Hammer (head), aquatic detectives of sorts. Based loosely on Sherlock Holmes, kids enjoy the story and puns and adults ""get"" the frequent references to the music and events of the 60s, 70s and 80s that are in the ""Sharklock Bones"" and ""Beach Towns"" series of books. ""I wanted to write a book for kids from eight to 80,"" says Leone, 70, who lives in Deptford, NJ. ""What's unique about this series of books is that they're full of humor for kids and adults similar to the Looney Tune cartoons of old. Hopefully, the children will also pick up learning a bit about ocean ecology."" John has also written ""Us Guys: the Army, the 60's"" about friendships forged while in the service and is presently working on a murder mystery taking place in the 60's. John Leone is available for presentations and special events. Check out his website at http: //johnleonebooks.com"
