about me

Here Begin the Lessons is somewhat based on people's real life experiences, somewhat stylized, but then again, truth is stranger than fiction.

I have written some short comedy pieces and a screenplay.

I am on Facebook.

Here Begin the Lessons

John Theissen

A student's four year experience at Ravenhill School. An elite boarding school. A weird boarding school.


What was it really like at Ravenhill School? Now the truth can be told.

A memoir of the old times, the strange times, the frightening times. Being thrust into a new situation at a venerable institution of learning can be a trying time for a teenage boy, the narrator. The challenges that face students and schoolmasters don't always work out as planned or expected.

What happens when bullying becomes intolerable? And who's writing those outrageous slogans on the walls? Was it the Ghost of Ravenhill?

"Tis unwise to reveal such accounts to the public. You have been warned." -anonymous Old Boy from Ravenhill School.


If you want to check out a couple sample chapters, try these: Chapter 17- Headmaster's security measures and an embarrassing mix up with names. Chapter 21- A Halloween prank enjoyed by all. All except the masters and the sergeant. Chapter 26- A mixed gender event. Doesn't go as planned.

Savannah Passion grabs the reader's attention from the start. Clearly the makings of a good thriller. It moves at a fast pace, and at the same time the descriptions make the scenes and people come alive. view book

After reading the first six chapters, I can see interesting settings that bring the reader in. Easy to read, at the same time vivid descriptions. Good, and accurate, thoughts on Paul. view book
