Having spent ten years working as an actor and film-maker John was forced to give that career up several years ago in order to look after his mother following a debilitating stroke. Now, working from home John has once more found a way to bring out his creative nature. Beginning with "Caring For Mum", a factual handbook which deals with the challenges in caring for an elderly relative, John has since progressed into fiction. "The Unwilling Recruit" begins a long running series of novels which, John hopes, will keep readers entertained for many years.
