He also was a visiting assistant professor at the University of North Carolina.
His first book, The Legend of the Barefoot Mailman, was published in 1996. This novel went out of print when Faber & Faber closed its U.S. offices. Fleming re-released it as an ebook and in a limited print run.

Also in 2012, John edited 15 Views of Tampa Bay, a linked collection of stories set in Tampa Bay, written by local writers. 15 Views of Tampa Bay, along with 15 Views of Orlando, formed the two parts of Burrow Press’s two-sided book, 15 Views Volume II: Corridor. In 2014, Burrow Press released his first story collection, Songs for the Deaf, which gathers twenty years’ worth of stories published in literary journals.
