New York Times bestselling author John U. Bacon has worked more than three decades as a writer, public speaker, college instructor, radio and TV commentator, and high school hockey coach, winning awards for all five.

He has authored fourteen books on sports, business, health, and history, eight of which are national bestsellers. In 2025, he authored the New York Times Best Seller The Gales of November: The Untold Story of the Edmund Fitzgerald, the definitive account of the tragic shipwreck from 1975. It has been featured in The New York Times, The New York Post, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, CBS Saturday Morning, NPR Morning Edition, and PBS, among others, and received a “starred review” in Kirkus.

Bacon is now an average hockey player, a mediocre Spanish speaker, and a poor piano player – but this has not stopped him from enjoying all three. He lives in Ann Arbor and Northern Michigan with his wife and son.
