Bowker Biography:
John William McCluskey

 

John William McCluskey, a native New Yorker, has spent his working life in the publishing industry beginning with a job at The New York Daily News. After college John worked for such magazines as House Beautiful, Family Circle, Parade Magazine, and others. In 1980 John formed his own company, Arden Communications, and took over two magazines from Popular Publications, Cars and Pro Quarterback . Arden’s list of consumer newsstand publications grew to include Landscaping Homes and Gardens, Diet Digest, Performance Rods and Street Machines, Image, Future Times and Predictions, Arden’s Good Times Almanac, and others.

The company’s focus moved from magazines to books with the publication of The Complete Book of Wedding Toasts, a project that had been in the works over several years. During this time, John’s interest in philosophy and spirituality lead him to the study and practice of the Tarot, which proved to be a life-changing and enlightening event. Fascinated with the subject, John immersed himself in studying the practical applications of this ancient art and performed, literally, hundreds of thousands of readings, both in the United States and in Europe. Amazing Mystic Tarot, a comprehensive book for the beginner as well as the advanced reader, was published in 2002.

John divides his time between East Hampton, New York, and Dublin, Ireland.
