About The Author

John Kelin is a writer with a long-standing interest in the Kennedy assassination. He is the former editor and publisher of Fair Play magazine, the first of what by now are many JFK-oriented sites on the Web. He is also the editor of False Mystery, a collection of writings by pioneering Warren Report critic Vincent J. Salandria.

During the 1980s, Mr. Kelin was a reporter for public radio station WEMU in Ypsilanti, Michigan, and an associate producer at WXYZ-TV in Detroit. In the 1990s he was a contract technical writer for Sun Microsystems in California and Colorado. During this period his writing appeared in Seattle-based Sacred City, and several Web-based literary magazines. More recently, his work has been seen in Elysian Fields Quarterly, a baseball magazine. His assassination writings have been published in The Kennedy Assassination Chronicles, and The Dealey Plaza Echo.

Mr. Kelin lives in Colorado with his wife and two children. In between feverish bouts of developing a novel, he releases tension by riding an Italian road bike for long distances. During the winter months he shovels the walk and the driveway, and in the summer he mows the lawn. Sometimes he must fix the toilet. Sometimes he makes cookies. Sometimes he listens to jazz. Sometimes there is trouble.
