Meet John Barnes: Author of '18: A Novel of Golf and Life

John Barnes is the first of several clients I enjoyed working with through my partnership with The Unapologetic Voice House! I am excited to announce him and the subsequent authors I have worked with over the last 5 months. John is a speaker, trainer, coach, and golfer from Denver, Colorado. He coaches athletes, business leaders, and students to reach new heights in their performances. His novel, ’18: A Novel of Golf and Life, is inspired by the many life stories he witnessed as a coach and mentor. '18 is scheduled for release in Spring 2020!

I am honored and thrilled to have worked with John to get his book edited for publication. For two months, we worked together, developing chapters, restructuring paragraphs, and finally, proofreading for grammar, punctuation, and spelling. I can attest to the passion John has for storytelling; that passion is evident in the pages of this attention-grabbing novel.

18: A Novel of Golf and Life

Craig Cantwell is well known as a journeyman millionaire and 'the best professional golfer who has not won a major.' His successful life as a tour pro is shattered when he is suspended from the PGA Tour.

Without a place to compete and with a personal life tangled with drama, Craig has to find his way back to a life he knows. His fight is not with the scions of the tour, the public, or the scores of great golfers who would be his opponents. He has to prevail over the toughest of adversaries - himself.

18: A Novel of Golf and Life beautifully tells the story of Cantwell and those in his life: Rachelle Keys, the mother of Craig's daughter and a heroic FBI Agent; Kelly Keys, the new 'IT' girl of golf; Thomas Kincaid, agent, and lawyer to the rich and scandalous; And Seth Reede, the personal development guru with a past more shocking than any fallen hero. Far more involved than just a tale of athletic triumph,18: A Novel of Golf and Life is a story of forgiveness, truth, courage, and redemption.
