Edward Johns

About

Shoreham-by-Sea, West Sussex, Englandis the birth place of new writer Edward Johns, currently working as part of theflight crew with an Airline based in Northern Ireland.

Having long-held ambitions to become a writer, for manyyears Mr. Johns was unable to come up with the right type of ideas for hisnovels, but in 2006 inspiration finally came to him and he began writing whatwas intended to be the first book of a Trilogy entitled “Race for FlugalFarm”.   It was a story based around theEquestrian scene and, whilst writing this, for some obscure reason the idea foranother novel came into his head and so he transferred his attentions to whathas now become his debut novel “Murdo”. His writing favours the pre to earlyteen market and, set against a backdrop of kidnapping, this first publicationcentres around the heart-warming bond formed between a young girl and a ratheramazing dog.

 

 

I addition to his passion for writing the Author tells usthat he likes nothing more than to spend his spare time outdoors on the GolfCourse.  He takes a keen interest in avariety of other sports, and in addition enjoys travelling (as indicated by hischoice of career), together with live theatre, movies and cuisine.

Having now had his first book published the Author has currentlyreverted back to his original manuscript, and we look forward to seeing thefirst of his Trilogy come out in the not too distant future.

Description

<p><span style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Richard II found himself under siege not once, but twice in his minority. Crowned king at age ten, he was only fourteen when the Peasants' Revolt terrorized London. But he proved himself every bit the Plantagenet successor, facing Wat Tyler and the rebels when all seemed lost. Alas, his triumph was short-lived, and for the next ten years he struggled to assert himself against his uncles and increasingly hostile nobles. Just like in the days of his great-grandfather Edward II, vengeful magnates strove to separate him from his friends and advisors, and even threatened to depose him if he refused to do their bidding. The Lords Appellant, as they came to be known, purged the royal household with the help of the Merciless Parliament. They murdered his closest allies, leaving the King alone and defenseless. He would never forget his humiliation at the hands of his subjects. Richard's inability to protect his adherents would haunt him for the rest of his life, and he vowed that next time, retribution would be his.</span><br /><span class="a-text-bold" style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:700;">B.R.A.G.

Story Behind The Book

The Race for Flugal Farm was written for my daughter who always wanted to read an adventure story where the main characters were horses.
