My name is John Battle and I've been telling stories of one sort or another for nearly fifty years. I started out telling serial stories to my younger brothers and sisters at night. Then I'd write short stories for one of my older sisters to mark. ​I have to admit that I've spent most of my adult life not actually writing; life has a talent for getting in the way. ​But, since a pep talk from my son in August 2012, I'm now an every day writer. When you are not writing, it is easy to forget how much fun it is. ​Most of my books are Sci-Fi with a touch of Humour thrown in, but my Fool books are Humour with a touch of Sci-Fi thrown in.
