John Pearce is a part-time Parisian but lives quite happily most of the the year in Washington, DC. He worked as a journalist in Washington and Europe, where he covered economics for the International Herald Tribune and edited a business magazine. After a business career in Sarasota, he spends his days working on his future books. For several months each year, he and his wife Jan live in Paris, walk its streets, and chase down interesting settings for future books and his blog, PartTimeParisian.com. They lived earlier in Frankfurt, Germany, which gave him valuable insights for several of the scenes in his sequel, Last Stop: Paris. He recently published the fourth book in the series, The Final Heist, and is working on two new ones. His book site is JohnPearceBooks.com
