Writing as: John Welcome
A British lawyer who was born in Ireland, John Brennan attended school at Oxford before launching his first career. In addition to his day job, Mr. Brennan was a huge racing enthusiast who parlayed his knowledge of the sport into a series of excellent thrillers revolving around that activity. He worked closely with fellow author, Dick Francis, on anthologies when he was not practicing law or writing one of his own 25 or so books.
