John Espie holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Creative Writing, as well as a few other "higher up" pieces of paper for less interesting matters. In addition to spending the past 25 years as a public educator, he has roamed the corridors of Hollywood, broken his left arm on a snowboard, gotten lost while alone above The Devil’s Punchbowl during a freak lightning storm, broken his right arm on a mountain bike, tried to bring peace between two rival street gangs a moment before they clashed into battle, had one of said street gang members loosen three of his teeth, helped a girl avoid a demon so that she wouldn’t have to go through yet another exorcism, and won an award for saving a newborn baby’s life. So, yeah, pretty humdrum.
