Author: John Brotherhood
John is a screenwriter and playwright who has found an unexpected love for automotive content writing. The logical conclusion would be to assume that he wrote the screenplays for the hit Disney-Pixar franchise Cars 1-3, but you would be incorrect.

John's automotive writing strives to inform and entertain, whether you're a car buff looking for your daily dose or a newcomer trying to figure out how many horses make a horsepower. Though John drives a crossover, he dreams of someday owning a truck, and sometimes, when he closes his eyes while driving, it feels like he really does own a truck.
