I am looking forward to signing copies of ‘Too Many Heroes’ from 10:00 this morning in the Stroud Branch of WHSmiths.   Met some lovely people at my book signing. Many thanks to everyone who bought a book

Here is my latest interview for Corinium Radio where Rona and I discuss the new novel Too Many Heroes (then with the working title Deceiving the Eye.) The programme includes John reading from the prologue and Chapter One. Listen here

‘Too Many Heroes’ Jan’s upcoming novel is set in England in the early 1950s. A faced paced thriller of courage, trauma, intrigue and love, it is due for release in early autumn 2019.

Just heard my short story ‘Where Cicadas Sing‘ has made the shortlist (of 6) for the Henshaw Short Story Prize.

In an Easter w/e giveaway ‘Until the ice Cracks’ just made number ten in Amazon’s ‘Suspense’ novels chart & number 78 in the top 100 Free Bestsellers chart.

Really pleased to be on the shortlist for the 2019 Evesham Festival of Words short story competition. I won first prize in 2016 – so fingers crossed I’m lucky again this year. Link to Festival Programme

Listen to Jan talking to Rona about the process of writing ‘Within Each Other’s Shadow’ the final volume of her Eldísvík Trilogy. The broadcast includes a reading from the new book – out this spring. Listen here
