About the Author

John Roberts has diverse interests, writing books and articles on smoking cessation, relationships, sailing, humorous slice of life stories and most recently, an illustrated book of spunky tree-like cartoon characters named the WoodChips.  Continually researching self-improvement, he's not just a theory man, frequently acting on his own advice.  Such was the case as he broke a lifelong smoking habit prior to writing Stop Smoking Gradually.  As John says, I smoked my last cigarette at exactly 3:00 PM on Wednesday, January 10, 1995, but who's counting?   Re-entering the dating game in the mid-eighties after divorce, true to form, he successfully researched and tried many methods and places to meet someone.  Thus was born his recent book Back in the Dating Game.  Similarly, in The Log of the Saline Solution, he describes sailing his boat alone off the Florida Keys on the far side of Tropical Storm Keith one Thanksgiving.  He calls his eventual arrival into port the thankfullest ever and has submitted this new word citation to Merriam-Webster for their consideration.   A resident of the St. Louis area, John's fields of formal study are in business, computer information systems technology and photography.  He's an Information Systems Project Manager by trade.  Believing every day to be a gift and adventure,  he notes his favorite phrase is to love life and so learn its meaning.
