His poetry has been published with Howling Press, The Open Page Literary Journal and Free Verse Revolution literary magazine.
John has written a sitcom, hosted a podcast about Ray Bradbury, written a couple of novels, produced a regular comedic film review vlog (which had at least one fan), appeared in an episode of Casualty, and even been a story consultant for computer games.
