Summary
John Wilson is a retired technology leader turned creative writer with 13 years of formal experience and a multi-decade career at IBM where he advanced from systems engineering to executive project management and Master Inventor, shaping IP strategy and leading high-performance storage programs for defense and scientific customers. Now authoring a Thriller/Crime series (first novel A Shadow of Black Water released 08/01/2024), he combines analytical rigor and storytelling to craft tightly plotted narratives grounded in technical authenticity. His background launching prototype systems and commercial tools for law enforcement and enterprise customers gives his fiction a practical edge and believable procedural detail. Based in League City, Texas, he still consults the craft of invention and invention management, a perspective that informs both his novels and his approach to creative work.
