John R. Dougherty is a Kansas City native and Christian author writing at the intersection of Biblical scripture, supernatural warfare, and gritty crime fiction.

A 40+ year IT professional by day, while doing his fair share of writing & teaching for churches, John brings the same discipline and attention to detail to his storytelling — crafting tightly plotted thrillers grounded in faith, justice, and the eternal struggle between good and evil.

His Holy Terror Trilogy introduces readers to Thumos, Yahweh's fearsome angel of justice, and the Miami detectives whose lives collide with his.

When he's not writing, John sings with his parish’s choir and is an avid movie buff with a near-encyclopedic knowledge of film quotes.
