My name is John Battle and I've been telling stories of one sort or another for nearly fifty years. I started out telling serial stories to my younger brothers and sisters at night. Then I'd write short stories for one of my older sisters to mark.

I have to admit that I've spent most of my adult life not actually writing; life has a talent for getting in the way.

But, since a pep talk from my son in August 2012, I'm now an every day writer. When you are not writing, it is easy to forget how much fun it is.

Most of my books are Sci-Fi with a touch of Humour thrown in, but my Fool books are Humour with a touch of Sci-Fi thrown in.

Quotes by J. Battle (?)

“there had been only three crimes on the statute books; the other two being Crimes Against Oneself and Crimes Against the State. Crimes Against Oneself usually result in a period of in-depth counseling and your own TV show. For Crimes Against the State, an exhaustive and comprehensive programme of organ donation is generally implemented, with the option to accept forced exile to a planet of the Law and Order AI’s choosing, at any stage before reduction in organ count made that option unviable.”
― J. Battle, In Favour of Fools
