John is severely dyslexic. Because of this disability he has difficulty reading. As the result he is not a natural writer. John never expected to be able to write a book and he was envious of people with good writing skills. He wished he could at least write one book that he thought about for years. After 5 years of thinking about what John would write in the book he started writing and realized although difficult he could write. John had help from his son, Christopher, who edited the book and the rest is history. John is also an accomplished artist. He paints and his medium is acrylics. To date John has painted over 400 paintings. His latest painting project is a collage of 100 small paintings. John hopes this collage of 100 paintings will be discovered by a museum who will display the collage.
