about me

I am NOT returning reads at this time.

I am a systems consultant who has always wanted to write novels but never got beyond page 3 with them.

Recently this changed and I have been writing continously for the last couple of years. I hope that as I do this, my writing is getting better. Until I do get published, I will employ what I think of as the Eric Morcambe defence:

"They are all the right words... Just not necessarily in the right order."

Now that Shaddowdon has its gold star I will not be returning reads on it.

Harper Collins have had the rewritten book for some time. The first part of the new version is posted here

I have written a sequel to the updated Shaddowdon, which was up here for a time,

You can find some of my short stories through the links.
I have several stories in Shotgun Shorts and one story in Sheena's Summer Shorts.

Shaddowdon

John Booth

Old secrets emerge and evil threatens from all quarters as a brother and sister use their magical powers to investigate the disappearance of their mother.


Sharing an ancient living mansion with ghostly servants ought to be cool and some of the time it is. Living up to your family's expectations isn't so easy if you happen to be a Shaddowdon and your younger sister is incredibly smart.

Set in an alternate England where magic and science have coexisted since records began, when Tim finally decides to talk to the pretty girl he sees down by the brook he sets in motion a chain of events that will change his life forever.

Tim's mother vanished mysteriously 11 years ago and he is going on a quest to find out why. Secrets, hidden for hundreds of years, are about to be revealed. Things everyone believes to be true are about to be turned on their head.

His search will bring him face to face with evil in human and ghostly form. It will lead to death and destruction as well as the righting of many wrongs.

This is fun. I think it needs some minor editing. Some places the unsigned text is difficult to follow, some places you sign it a little too much. But such things are minor. Regards John view book
