JOHN LESCROART
John Lescroart (pronounced “less-kwah”) wrote his first novel in college and the second one a year after he graduated from Cal Berkeley in 1970, but he didn’t try to publish either book until 14 years later at the urging of his wife, Lisa. Some years earlier, Lescroart had been a working singer-songwriter. He figured then if he hadn’t made it in music by his 30th birthday, he’d retire and pursue his writing career. Within two months of his last gig, he finished a novel, Sunburn, which was a local award winner for best first novel, but he still had to hold down a day job. Then one day, Lescroart went bodysurfing and contracted spinal meningitis from contaminated seawater. He credits that 11-day battle with death as the turning point in his career. From then on, he quit working day jobs and focused on writing full-time—and it only took him 20 years to become an overnight success!
