Jon Pepper is a novelist, entrepreneur and consultant based in New York City.
"Green Goddess," set for release in May, 2022, is the third book in his series, "Fossil Feuds," which centers on the travails of a family-run energy empire struggling to adapt to the modern age.
A native of Michigan, Jon won numerous awards as a national writer and business columnist for The Detroit News. He subsequently became the president of a start-up firm in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and an executive for two Fortune 100 companies before starting his own communications agency, Indelable, in New York.
His series' first book, "A Turn in Fortune," published in 2018, looked at the personal conflict atop the Crowe Power Company. Company chairman Robbie Crowe spun into a jealous rage after his CEO, Walker Hope, was hailed as the reason for the company's success. Their hostilities led to a dramatic boardroom showdown.
Jon's second novel, "Heirs on Fire," released in 2020, chronicled the continuing battles of Robbie Crowe as he fought for respect and recognition while dealing with an estranged wife, a manipulative mistress, a takeover threat, and a possible revolt in his family.
Jon's career as a journalist, executive, and entrepreneur gave him a front row seat in the corner suites, estates, private jets and first class hotels where the business elite dwell. With an eye for human quirks and vanities, Jon captures the quandaries faced by modern business with humor and drama.
"I've always loved good satires about the business elite in books, TV and movies," Jon says. "The goal of my books is to immerse readers in that world, make them laugh and make them wonder: What would they do in the same situation?"
Jon and his wife Diane, who designed the covers of his books, reside in Manhattan.
