Hello all, thanks for coming to see me!

I’m a writer: stories, many with a fantastical but humorous nature, some with an adult hue and others written with children in mind. I can touch on the darkly funny or delve into the world of magic and murder.

I also like to express myself via my blog (please visit and say hello): http://johndrhodesauthor.wordpress.com/

I'm currently concentrating on childrens stories with Humphrey Pickleton reaching the final stages (watch this space) and my new book just cooking - a story all about Chester a sentient dog with a problem or two!

I have the ability to manage to string together words and sometimes those strings of words join up and make some quite interesting paragraphs! I have a very vivid imagination but it all gets very messy up there in my head so I have to have a good old clear out on quite a regular basis. Rather than just throw it into the bin or recycle I hit upon a remarkable way of preserving it instead!

For really big chunks of stuff I put them together in novel format and try to persuade publishers to adopt them (as long as I can have visiting rights and a share of any money they make in the future as they grow up). This doesn’t always work (alright it hasn’t worked so far but I continue to try – any perspective foster parents please get in touch).

The other way I like to communicate and share my outpourings (both fictional and factual) is via my beloved blog – http://johndrhodesauthor.wordpress.com – here you will mainly find my views of life coloured with absurd witticisms along with shorter cousins of my bigger stories, short vignettes of fiction for your delight!

You can purchase my self published book: an e-book entitled Mr Memory available via Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0057XV34W or https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0057XV34W or https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0057XV34W).

And that is the story so far, please feel free to call by, connect with me (I do Twitter a lot so I’m told: @johnnydrhodes) or continue on your merry way. And thank you for coming by!
