I've always shied away from my given name. My pastor father named me John Wesley. The name was somewhat disconcerting until writing my first novel. I decided it would make a catchy "pen name." After all, there are a number of famous, as well as infamous John Wesleys, John Wesley Powell and Harding to name a few, not to mention the theologian who founded the Methodist church. Now I like the name and it was readily available for a website domain. Please check out my chiropractic practice and work with veterans.
