John Harrold

My name is John Harrold.

I was born in Hounslow in West London U.K. in January 1940.

When I was in junior school I can remember writing some short stories to amuse myself when it was raining and we could not go out and play in the school playground.I never thought much about writing as a hobby until I was in my mid 40's when I did and English O level class at night school. I surprised myself and got a grade A in the exam at the end of the course. Not bad for a boy who left school in 1955 without any exams to his name.

When I was 12 years old I became a Christian, meaning that I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour and that decision has been a big influence on my life and writing in my later years. My writing started to take off when I had a poem accepted for publication in the 1990's and since then I have had over 60 poems printed. Then followed sort articles for Christian daily devotional books followed in recent years books on various themes of the Bible and about Antisemitism.

I am now 79 years old at the time or writing and hope to write more books in the future as the Good Lord allows me to.
