- Author Biography
John Hachmann was born in Laredo, Texas but lived a great part of his life in San Antonio, Texas. From an early age he loved music. When he received his first guitar, he started learning songs. In 1962 he wrote and sang a semi-hit song. From that moment on he spent his energy writing country and western songs and playing in various bands.
He lived in Denver a while but finally settled in College Station, Texas. He moved to Austin, Texas 8 years ago with his wife of 36 years and loves it.
Last year he dabbled in poetry and actually won an honorable mention in the national contest with one of his poems.
About three years ago he started to become interested in writing. One day he just started writing a love/war story on his computer. The words came easy and he really enjoyed writing the first book, "The Tears of Destiny".
When he finished the book, he decided right then and there that he should become an author. He really enjoys writing fiction books as an escape for himself; however, if he can bring pleasure and enjoyment to someone else in his writings, it would make him very happy.
His second book, "The Dark Water Murders" is a 360 page murder mystery with quite a few twists. There will be a book two and he has included the first chapter of book two in the end of book one.
His third book, “Journey into Peril” is a 358 page epic adventure about the struggles that pioneers faced in 1868 traveling across the United States in wagon trains. As in previous books, he included the first chapter of the sequel to this book, at the end of the book.
He hopes to write many more books and, in fact, is almost through his the sequel to “The Dark Water Murders”. Also to come is a novel about the Civil War and the ‘old south’, and a modern day love story set close to Martha’s Vineyard.
He hopes he can send people into the world of make believe and help them to escape the everyday strains of life. If he can do that then he feels that he has accomplished something.

The second is a murder mystery on a small lake in upstate New York. The third is a wagon train adventure in 1868. The forth is the sequel to the murder mystery. I am holding off sending that to Publish America until I talk to a few agents, or I should say until I… Continue

Agents
I know that most authors have the same problem. You just have to keep on truckin' and not let it get to you. However, it should not be that way. All we want is to be heard by someone and not just brushed aside like some trash out there.
I know I can write g… Continue

Scribblers’ Retreat is a non-profit organization established with the goal of reaching writers of all ages; to inspire and promote their hidden gifts and talents.
By involving the local community, authors, publishers, editors, journalists and all forms of the literary world, we are opening their minds and bringing hope where there was doubt.
Scribblers’ Retreat is not the typical classroom setting. It was designed to bring world-class authors, literature professors, editors, journalists, illustrators, photo journalists, proofreaders, publishers, publicists, screenplay writers, and website/graphic designers, etc. one-on-one with young and old alike. It is the opportunity of a lifetime for someone who has had a manuscript in a desk drawer for 40 years or who has an outstanding poem that simply must be read.
Scribblers’ Retreat Writers’ Conference
Where “can’t” is not in our vocabulary.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!The blessings we ask for this season
Aren't the kind that come wrapped with a bow;
We're asking for gifts from the heart,
Ones we need and never outgrow.
May we see in these bright decorations
With their colors and lights all aglow,
The beauty and wonder of life
That God's world was created to show.
Let the peace and goodwill of this season
Be feelings that we can extend
Far into the following year
To our neighbors, our family, and friends.
Most of all, may we always remember
To open our hearts every day and share all the love and the joy
In a special and meaningful way.
