He has now parlayed his songwriting skills into the gritty realism and rites of passage portrayed in his pacy debut novel. 'The Broken Bottle' is the first volume of a proposed series of books for teenagers and young adults. I strongly recommend this rewarding read."

So good I’m going to read it again now I know what happens.” Rob Morgan, A Goldfish Called Regret</p><p>“John’s detailed descriptions make it easy to get transported into the story.
