John's Writing
One of John’s biggest hobbies was his writing. Probably best known for his love of writing plays, some of you may be surprised to learn that John is also a published author.
Writing under the Pseudonym “January Jones”, John published Paddy Doyle’s Hat in 2017. The book is loosely based on John’s father’s life and explores John’s interest in the Spanish Civil War.
