John Eaton is a poet and song writer, also a nurse and care home manager. He lives and works in Taunton, Somerset, UK. John started writing in the lock-down as a means of staying sane and keeping in touch, and building relationships with his granddaughter, Evaleigh. He has always had an affinity with the English language, and space and time, provided the opportunity to create. He is passionate about encouraging literacy, and love of the English language. Featuring lots of creative prose, his Spid the Spider adventures are fun for parents to read to, and with, their children. In turn this helps them learn to read, grow and inspire a determination to succeed. All Spid the Spider books also feature at least two songs with QR codes taking readers to musical versions of the songs. Some of the themes in Spid’s books mirror John’s own life. When he left school, he did not know, what if anything, he should be good at. Being one of eight children and growing up on a council estate he did not aspire to higher purpose. Though working in a psychiatric hospital, qualifying as a Mental Health Nurse (RMN) and then as a Registered General Nurse (RGN) led him overseas. Then to establish a successful healthcare training business and subsequently a growing care home in Somerset. John's work is inspired by the people, punishment, pathos, and humorous proclamations he encounters in his day job. His first book, a collection of poems, or what he calls ‘proetry’, 'Thoughts from a Faraway Place' (Austin Macauley) published in 2021. Thus far John has also written a dozen Spid the Spider adventures, three albums of Spid the Spider songs, and many supporting the Ukrainian relief effort including 'Under Ukrainian Skies'. The music was composed mostly by Pete Dymond (who has also written for Sir Paul McCartney and David Essex). You can hear musical versions of his work on Amazon Music.
