Autorenporträt
John Woodward is an author reborn having taking time away from the writing game to work in business and training and coaching. As a younger man, John specialised in poetry and the writing of fantasy and science fiction short stories. An active sportsman, John was a keen soccer player who loved the game but lacked the time and commitment to play at a higher level. He always loved writing however, and recently returned to the fold of inspiring authors who simply love to tell stories. This first attempt at the genre was inspired by his own pet cats, especially Oscar, a big larger than life ginger tom with a huge bushy tail.
