A songwriter and musician in an Americana roots band, John found inspiration for his fiction in old-time country and blues music and the Southern folklore at its heart.

Kirkus Reviews, July 15, 2011:
"With The Clockwork Dark series drawing to a close, author Bemis
has saved the best for last...With a plot as intricate as the
Machine at its center and a page-turning pace, this unique,
ambitious American fantasy comes to a satisfying end that would
please even John Henry."
VOYA, June 19, 2011:
"This third book focuses the complicated plots of the trilogy into
a consistent conclusion that forces the reader to consider nature s
strength and technology s dangers....The first two volumes middle
school fans who are now in junior high will find more than enough
action and thought for their maturing tastes."
Tom Angleberger, author of "The Strange Case of Origami Yoda"
"A rigorous adventure set in our own country s folkloric past, when
the sons of John Henry and Little Bill fought a desperate,
fantastical battle for the soul of America. A series which any
self-respecting middle school book nerd would wolf down eagerly."
"From the Hardcover edition.""
