Born in Kent UK in 1968, John Northern was a voracious reader from an early age. Reading Tolkien at the age of 11 and never looking back! Additionally John has been writing science fiction ebooks and self publishing on Amazon since 2013 in a collection of stand alone stories plus the Danny Day adventures. A life long follower of Granny Weather wax and Nanny Ogg plus the City Guard; John's aim is to reach those who have a similar mindset through sales and the use of his International Twitter account @ john_northern; where the link to his work can be found. Please feel happy to contact John through the Twitter account if you have any questions as he is happy to answer any queries.
The influence of the British countryside play a part in John's writing along with his past and current reading. A busy family and real life keep his feet on the ground, along with a full time job in the NHS; however John finds the time to create these alternative realities that he shares with those who wish to pursue them, where-ever they take them.
A note from the author:
Dear reader: I have been self publishing from 2013 through my Amazon author page as I found this enabled me to show allow those following me Internationally what I had been producing. My science fiction is based targeted at young adults and above, given the lack of poor language and also is advewnture and hard science fiction driven.
My influences have been many. But I tend to return to the Genre that I write within or nearby. I have had support from the local written press, however more would be appreciated; and as with all in my situation, ultimately I am looking for that one lucky break. I was always told. If you dont ask, you dont get! So please have a read or send me an email and ask for a free copy!

The Bectoheliums are squeezing children for fuel. Into the woods Pip and her brother George disappear, finding more than they bargained for; and leaving behind them not a trace of their movements. Inspector Madison arrives and is surrounded by death and destruction as the bodies pile up and still the reason for his arrival remains. Thomas Vanquish is pulled into the battle between good and evil as the children are collected, but to what end?
Following a trail of death and destruction the quiet village of Ravens Hollow is turned into a battle ground as old enemies and new, face one another in order to settle injustices and set those free that have been trapped for so long. A science fiction adventure for all.
An adventure that pulls four dissonant individuals from separate time lines together. They all have different reasons for being drawn together, however they feel their one aim - unhappiness with the system - will draw them forward. all of them have different aims, all have different agendas and reasons for being there...
Do they succeed?
Do they manage to complete the task they set themselves in resetting the mainframe?
Or do they remain trapped?
Master Rramos and the Juggernauts have supp ressed the land for many years. Taking what they want when they wish. Now those that have grown up under the yolk of this oppression have reached the age that they are able to show their colours. Purple Witch and Bhargoo, both orphans of the genocide that has gone before, use their skills to work toward a common goal, one that will free the land of its oppression. With help from unexpected quarters to guide and then support them, the two work toward freeing their homeland. But not before Rramos attempts a last attempt at domination in the name of self preservation and retribution. But whom will succeed?
