Over 30 years John, authored a book on dyslexia, Dyslexia: How Do We Learn, which became a bestseller for four months, selling over 15,000 copies and being released in eight countries
in the 1980’s.

this book is a follow-up book that explores my journey over the last three decades with both dyslexia and, more recently, ADHD.
This journey has been filled with massive successes, massive downfalls and failure and day to day challenges that people with Dyslexic and ADHD face every day.

I’m now 58, and there has been so much water under the bridge, both good and bad which relates to my spicy brain. I felt I need to explore it again to help me better understand what why and how shit happens because of my spicy brain.

I want to push boundaries and create something innovative.
My vision is to expand the project into a theater play and an educational, entertaining based game that will allow these mediums express the issue in a more realistic way than a book.

I've lived with Aboriginals in far north Australia who now call me uncle.
I've travelled through the Middle East with nothing but a tent, Nepal, India, Pakistan, Iran, Syria, Jordan, Israel and all before I was 24 years old.
