About the Author, John Turner

John Turner writes because he enjoys creativity, weaving words and capturing some sort of truth. It is a form of self-expression for him. He believes that some stories must be told and the world is only enhanced by it. John is family-oriented and is interested in social justice, humanitarianism and making the world a better place. He will go the extra mile when he sees that the cause is worth it. He loves stimulating and meaningful discussion with family and friends and can think of nothing better than creating the setting for this by playing host. When he’s not engaging in the above or writing, he can be found staying active and healthy, exploring nature (ideally a sunny beach), attempting spontaneous comedy at an improv class, being amused at the oddities of life, practicing silly voices, or working at the University. He loves peanut butter and marmite on toast.
