John Sturgeon is a retired insurance agent from Winfield, Illinois. He has been married to his wife Mary for forty-three years. They have three children and five grandchildren. Bad People is John's eighth published novel-five from the Levee District Series and two other books in the Milton Series. An "extremely" mediocre golfer, his kids dubbed him "The Master of the Egg" because they liked his omelets better than any restaurant.
