About




John Scheck has lived in four countries on three continents. In no particular order, these include eight years in Lower Queen Anne in Seattle; the Miraflores district of Lima, Peru, during a university program; the Glyfada area of greater Athens, Greece, as part of his short and distinguished service in the U.S. Air Force; and currently, the Ruzafa neighborhood in sunny Valencia, Spain, is home.

His humor essays have appeared on several websites and magazines, as well as National Lampoon's Not Fit for Print. His short story, “Visiting Day,” was published in Noirville, a noir story collection from Fahrenheit Press. He began writing by publishing his first book during Covid, Nothing Personal, a collection of humor essays.
 
Returning to the first person, I still can't say that I'm a musician and keep a straight face, but I'm working on it. I have no one to blame but myself. I either should have started younger, or talked myself out of trying to learn the piano as an adult.
