John Ritter

John H. Ritter's writing is deeply informed by a rich family background that blended athletes, musicians, and poets. His childhood in the arid hills east of San Diego fostered a powerful imagination and a keen sense of the land's spiritual undercurrents, elements that resonate throughout his work. The early loss of his mother and her musical inclinations instilled in him a lyrical sensibility for capturing the essence of a person. After exploring a musical path inspired by Bob Dylan, Ritter ultimately turned to writing, driven to convey the raw realities and experiences of life with profound emotional depth.
