John R. Marshe is a Canadian author, screenwriter, and professional actor whose work bridges the line between the living and the unknown. With a career in television and film that spans everything from true crime to science fiction, John brings cinematic suspense and emotional realism to every page he writes. His on-screen credits include See No Evil, An Unexpected Killer, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Doc, Danno’s Escape, Meet the Taylors, and international commercials for SkipTheDishes and Starbucks. Known for portraying emotionally intense, often haunted characters, he channels that same energy into his fiction.

His paranormal thriller series, The Other Side, follows a woman trapped between two worlds—grieving the past while navigating a chilling new ability to see the dead. Blending ghost stories with psychological suspense, the series explores the fragile boundary between memory and reality, and the high cost of uncovering secrets that were never meant to be found.

John is also the author of The Lighthouse Between Us, a bestselling children’s chapter book about a young boy navigating life between two homes. The book has been praised for its emotional depth and honest portrayal of modern family life, resonating with parents, teachers, and children alike.

He lives in Ontario with his blended family, a spirited mix of pets, and a deep fascination for life’s biggest questions—especially the ones that don’t have easy answers. He continues to write, perform, and explore stories that blur the line between this world and whatever lies beyond.
