Dean Thompson

It is easy to confuse Dean Thompson with Imagine Murder’s fictional David Johnson. Both have experience working with John Lennon at his Joko Films’s SoHo NYC location. Both came to New York City in the 1970s from Ohio, and both live in a Tudor-style house on Staten Island, which overlooks New York Harbor. In between his time with Lennon and writing Imagine Murder, Dean continued to work in film and television, while his coauthors -- wife Victoria Hallerman and best friend -- Thom Moon – have remained a steady part of his life. “I was approached by many people to write a book about working with John,” Thompson said, “but I didn’t want to be someone who wrote another ‘I knew John Lennon best’ book. While it is fiction, I think this book gives readers a chance to experience the John Lennon I knew in a unique and personal way.”
