Author Information

John lives and works in Taunton, Somerset. He is a care home manager, nurse, poet, and songwriter. John started writing in the middle of the lock-down as a means of staying sane, and keeping in touch, and building relationships with his granddaughter, Evaleigh. He has always had an affinity with the English language, and space and time provided the opportunity to create. He is passionate about encouraging literacy, and love of the English language. Some of the themes in Spid's books mirror John's own life. When he left school, he did not know what, if anything, he would be good at. Being one of eight children and growing up on a council estate he did not aspire to higher purpose. Working in a psychiatric hospital, and then qualifying as a Mental Health Nurse (RMN) and then as a Registered General Nurse (RGN) led him overseas. Then to establish a successful healthcare training business and subsequently a growing care home in Somerset. He hopes Spid the Spider's adventures will engage and empower parents to instil a love of reading. Thus far John has also written some 100 songs, mostly with Pete Dymond (who has also worked with Sir Paul McCartney, David Essex and Mickie Most). His first book of poetry, or what he calls 'proetry', Thoughts from a Faraway Place, Austin Macauley (2021) was inspired by the people, punishment, pathos, and humorous proclamations he encountered in his day job.
