John Read started writing in the 1970s with comedy sketches on Television & Radio. His short stories and articles have been seen in Newspapers & Magazines from Ireland to Australia. His work has gained superb reviews from readers and various websites. Many have won the much coveted 'Cherry Award' on the highly respected literary website ABC Tales. Two of the short stories from his book, 'The Man Who Couldn't Stay Dead,' were independently selected for a compilation book, 'Twisted,' which knocked Stephen King from the top of the Amazon best sellers chart. One of those stories, 'Summer Sky,' won a prestigious award at a 'red carpet' London ceremony. Two stories have been re-written as screenplays, one of which has been compared to Dickens, Narnia and The Snowman. He is also a songwriter, once signed to Warner Chappell, and with songs on Spotify, Apple, Amazon and other internet platforms. He shares credits with Paul McCartney on an album released in the USA by a British Chart group. He is a member of the RBSA. (Royal Birmingham Society Of Artists.) where his work has been exhibited. In previous incarnations he has worked as a photographer, carpenter and a Theatre Stage Manager. (Where he was taught to play the piano by Victor Borge, amongst others.) He has climbed mountains for Alzheimers Research and part of the profits from his writing is donated too.
