John's career involved a great deal of writing - mostly studious business reviews and creative marketing plans, but his observations of life and keen imagination also inspires writing of a more adventurous kind. In John's first book, 'White Ashes' he enters a world that throws puppy love into suspense and high drama as Young Rachael Farrington is suddenly besieged by assassination plots, abductions, and police corruption, when dangerous secrets begin to emerge from her boyfriend's past. "It's a story that tests the judgement of it's characters and will no doubt test the judgement of its readers too," John says. Born and raised in Manchester, England, John has now 'retired' to write and paint in North Dallas, Texas.
