About the Author

Artist. Musician. Brewer. Designer. Footballer. Author. 

These are all things that Jon has dreamed of being paid to do at some point in his life (with varying degrees of connection to reality). 

  
During his time as a kindergarten teacher, Jon loved reading stories to his students and found it fascinating to see which ones they connected with above all others.

He dreamed of crafting THOSE stories. The ones that kids picked up first every time. The ones they bugged their teachers / parents / caregivers to read to them over and over again. The ones that adults didn't mind reading one hundred times because they enjoyed the wordplay or loved the illustrations. The ones that contained positive, inclusive messages that didn't get in the way of the pure enjoyment of reading. 

It's early days but Jon hopes he's on the right path to that goal. In any case, it's becoming increasing unlikely he's going to be called to play up front for England.
