John Patrick Lamont drew upon fourteen years of experience working within the insurance industry to write his first novel, Sum of Life - The Worst Kind of Lies. Inspired by both the generosity and selfishness of the people he encountered, Mr. Lamont attempts to create a window into a world of money and power driven by need and greed. Mr. Lamont hopes that his fictional corporate insurance world inspires his readers to avoid the poor choices and pitfalls made by the characters in the Sum of Life trilogy. Mr. Lamont continues to work within the insurance industry. He welcomes any comments or questions about his book.
