John M GreenJohn M. Green is the author of Double Deal, The Tao Deception, The Trusted, Born to Run and Nowhere Man. He left his day job as a banker two years before the global financial crisis - enough of a lag so no one could accuse him of starting the whole mss! He wrote his first novel about it. His childhood years roaming the back alleys of Sydney's infamous Kings Cross set the stage for his later careers, in law and finance. He became a partner in two major law firms and then an executive director in a leading investment bank. Today, he straddles writing, business and philanthropy. He's a director of several organisations, listed and unlisted, including cyber-security, financial services, engineering, publishing and not-for-profits. He's been a Council Member of the National Library of Australia and a director of two publishing houses. And, like one of his story characters, he's a magic aficionado. He lives in Sydney with his wife, the sculptor Jenny Green. Read More Read Less
