edit data

Theo St. John is an author with a background in Civil Engineering and a career in the audiovisual field. After years working in film, television, and advertising production, he turned to fiction, exploring the boundaries between emotion and morality. His writing combines cinematic precision with a raw, visual literary sensibility. Fascinated by the psychology of identity and the choices that define human nature in moments of crisis, St. John crafts stories where silence carries as much weight as words.

My Father the Yakuza is his debut novel—an intense and introspective work that places the reader between the legacy of blood and the burden of truth.
