Published on by johnrachel

Arriving in bookstores across the globe, as an ebook and a deluxe paperback!

This is a very unique “love story”, based on real events. It’s set in Japan but spans three continents, with fascinating visits to France, Morocco, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Benin, Nigeria, then a mind-boggling turn which I believe will shock you. Yes … this really happens to good, decent Japanese people! But don’t fret. Everything eventually works out very nicely. 

Another 5-Star Review: Blinders Keepers

Published on by johnrachel

People are still reading Blinders Keepers!

It got another 5-star review posted all over the book-o-sphere. Here it is on Amazon, showing up four days ago:

“Noah is on the run after becoming the innocent suspect in a terrorist bus bombing in a dystopian, extremely near, future US, in which society is on the verge of political, economic (and astronomical) implosion. Noah is an everyman and you see the world through his trusting and rather loving eyes as he races across the country through communes, bee farms, burning man, the hacker-saboteur political underground, and eventually winds up face to face with the highest reaches of deep state power, which turn out to be all too intimate and familial. It’s all very serious, and occasionally quite dark. Except it’s funny as hell. Rachel is an immensely witty and readable writer, whose verbal flights are always aimed at evocation (I’ve never read as vivid a description of burning man) and laughter. It’s a comic political picaresque, equal emphasis on comedy and politics, without a single dull page.  Why haven’t you heard of it? Because it’s too good and too much fun, that’s why.” – brecht (reviewer)

Mind you, this book was published almost seven years ago. Specific incidents aside, as whacky and outrageously funny as it apparently is, it’s truly astonishing how well it captures the absurdity and circus-like environment of our current politics.

If you want a good laugh to dispel some of the anxiety and pessimism which saturates the media and political landscape, take it for a spin.

We’re sure you’ll like it . . . a lot!

Why write a book?

I write to entertain, and make people happy. 

It appears that I’ve hit the mark with the readers of LIVE FROM JAPAN!

“LIVE FROM JAPAN is a lovely book in many ways. The spirit of the book is to encourage community between John Rachel’s adopted country and his birth country and the book itself invites, entertains, nourishes and charms, supporting that end.” – Amazon Review April 26, 2021

“An expats perspective which sheds light on the unique and quirky aspects of Japanese country life. Highlights include anecdotal descriptions of the great care taken in daily rituals, food customs, and the courtesy extended to people and place.” – Amazon Review May 15, 2021

“John’s perceptions reminded me of my mixture of awe and puzzlement over Japanese ways and how each generation has distinctive formative influences.” – Amazon Review March 15, 2021

Coming (We Hope) in August!

Published on by johnrachel

We’re trying to get this ready for release this June.  There are so many issues related to supply chains, the pandemic, and pervasive chaos in the world.  But we’ll do our best.  Initial reactions have been outstanding!  Here’s in part what one reader of an advance copy had to say:

“The subtitle of the book is Romance in the Land of the Rising Sun. The setting of much of the activity does center, with reverent attention, on the detail of life in Japan, Osaka, especially, but includes a surprising, and amazing lightning tour of Paris, Morocco, and several major cities of Western Africa. More than setting only, there is a rhythm and music to John Rachel’s language that allows the reader to believe that he/she is experiencing a translated version of these characters’ thoughts and language straight from Japanese.”

Please be patient.  We think it’ll be worth the wait.
