Hi. My name is John Madderson and I love writing fiction.
I was born in the small industrial seaside town of Blyth Northumberland in January 1947.
In 1964 I joined the Army and enlisted into the Royal Northumberland Fusiliers where in 1966 I met my wife Sylvia while on leave from Germany and en-route to Aden and active service.
On returning to England Sylvia and I were married and in 1968 we were blessed with our son Lee Raymond.
In 1977 I left the army and went into self-employment for a great number of years. Now living in Newcastle upon Tyne I spend my time writing, a task I take great pleasure in.
I like to write horror; I also like to write historic events adding fictional characters in situations of love, war and revenge.
I have recently finished a series of vampire books under my own name and now I am about to put the final chapters to my latest book about the Napoleonic War called “Revenge of the 5th.”
I hope you Enjoy reading my books as much as I enjoyed writing them.

Chase the Devil.
Very good book. The steadfastness of captain Lockhart and William to follow their enemy through battles and countries was relentless. They solved wrong doing on their way. Will we be following their journey back to their regiment.
