John Randall was born in Chicago, Illinois. Growing up, he was fascinated with the process of creative writing. While attending Columbia College, this allowed him to hone his love of storytelling. This interest led to some early exposure to reading since he was drawn to stories related to history, psychology, and political dramas. Later, Mr. Randall, who now in the legal technology field, developed a passion for slow-burn stories. How can one use the genre of comedy to advance plot devices? In Fragmentation, John explores the issue of how one's past cannot always be kept there. Can someone indeed find redemption? How does one deal with repressed events? John does not believe in the concept of a clearly defined protagonist and antagonist. Fragmentation is Mr. Randall's first book.
