Hi, I'm originally from Leigh in Lancashire. Left for Australia in 63 and then moved over to New Zealand years later. Married, to Margaret, two sons and two granddaughters. I have also been a pro boxer and soccer player. An apprenticeship in the engineering field had me traveling some distances following the trade. I have also been an insurance salesman, along with selling land in Australia And then there are my spells behind a bar somewhere, serving the masses.
I tend to write with a certain amount of humor in my short stories, even when trouble raises its ugly head. Reading these stories you will find a group of children in all these series who are set to do battle no matter what. In one it is with the help of a small wizard called Billy Bottom. In another, it is the children themselves attempting to determine the outcome.
Then we have Jimmy the fly, and all the trouble he seems to find. Raj the tiger is a real wake up call, scaring half the jungle. These have still to see the light of day, but they will eventually.
Still, join us in a little humor and fun. They were fun to write and are fun to read. Short stories are like that. Wishing you all the best, John J McCarrick(Author) Be Lucky.
