John L C Barnes was born in Kent, the 'Garden of England' and has been a writer and poet pretty much since he could hold a pen. Often found wandering the hills and valleys of his beloved Cotswolds, he also likes Italian food and chocolate (not necessarily on the same plate). Although the reflection in the mirror seems older and increasingly saggy by the day, he is still very much a young person at heart and pours this love and energy into his stories for children.
Since his initial return to writing via the ‘Clara’ children’s books after years away, John has got his feet back under the table with a growing backlist of fiction novels for older audiences in various genres, written under various pen names. He’s also authored self-help works for those suffering a variety of health issues. John has been an Amazon #1 bestseller and #1 in ‘Hot New Releases’ for his fiction titles.
