These days, Jon Janssen divides his time between Melbourne and Malmo, Sweden. He travels extensively.
Janssen trained as a physicist at university, where he first became interested in writing. He has had several academic articles published, but this is his first work of fiction. He confesses to be fascinated by the diversity of educational systems in the world, but refuses to be critical of those in Australia. He professes to be fascinated by the perverseness of human behaviours and the dichotomy of appearance and reality in them.
Jon Janssen continues to observe human behaviours and to write about them. He lives in Melbourne with his wife and three cats. He is retraining currently as a psychologist.ver menos
