John Dover
Musician, author, whiskey enthusiast, and educator. John Dover is a professional musician and author based out of Portland Oregon. Growing up in Montana, John’s taste for the Macabre was influenced by the tales of Edgar Allen Poe, Stephen King, Dean Koontz and the 80’s classic cult movies of Sam Rami and Wes Craven. But his early days of writing were superseded by his passion for the trumpet.
In 2013 John broke out of his musical persona to pen the Johnny Scotch series of novella’s and comic books. Since then, John has written two Johnny Scotch Novella’s (available through Breaking Rules Publishing), a four part comic book series, and a number of short stories that have been published in anthologies from Alucard Press (Tales From the Braided Pony), KJK Publishing (100 Word Horrors 1 & 2, and Carnival of Horror), and Stitched Smile Publications (Tenebrous).
As a musician, John has recorded a solo album, and is a founding member of the Three D’s, and has appeared on a number of other artists albums including Chase Padgett, Joanne Wang, Danni Hauge, and more). John has performed with some of the Pacific Northwest’s top talent and continues to deliver his musical talents as a guest artist and clinicians for schools throughout Oregon and Washington and wherever else he is called.
