Welcome!  Welcome indeed, to the World Wide Whitbourn, wherein JAW's talented web-weaver attempts to divert and entertain you - and obliquely persuade you to part with your hard-earned cash.  However, should you want to buy his books without first being entertained, follow this link now.  His poor, starving, children will bless you.

Otherwise, thrill to the history of the man himself in his biographical details (many of them true); read a brief introduction to his work in What's it all about then?; and peruse his own modest review of one of his novels in Own-trumpet voluntary.   Should your appetite thus be whetted, find out about the ghostly goings-on in a strange Surrey village not dissimilar to the one John lives in, in A Binscombe Tales spiel, see a complete list of the tales in both the initial publication chronology and, by Jove, their definitive  order when collected into two fine volumes (available to buy now ).  Then, should you so wish, discover John's alleged real feelings about his home county via Homage to Surrey.

John is, of course, primarily a writer of fictional entertainments, and as such only too glad to talk about the creation of his books. In An Alternative Interview he gives some insights into the writing of his first published novels, while in The 'Continuum' Timeline he delineates the whole chronology underlying his first trilogy. In Whatever next? he speculates regarding work in progress, such as the Downs-Lord Triptych (which you can buy by following this link) or the proposed 'Amy-Faith & the Stronghold' series.  Meanwhile, the searing indictment of his complete publishing history is laid out in the Full bibliography.
