Jon's first book, When the World Falls Down has just started it's journey with the Matador team. Book 2 of the series is currently in the editing phase while book 3, along with other separate ideas are currently being written.
Jon has created a truly exciting and visceral world that came to life instantly in mind, and made me want to find anything and everything out as Bethany does! I found it highly enjoyable to read, and found it so interesting to see what a world where creatures from storybooks as well as new ones lived in. I cannot wait to read where Bethany's journey goes next! A highly enjoyable read that I would recommend to anyone

This book was a joy to read. Charmingly written, the narrator is as much a character as any of those whose adventures we follow through the weird and wonderful galaxy of Edimor. Bethany is a protagonist to root for. Her friends are your own, as together they get in and out of intergalactic scrapes, twirling pistols, quips and mustachios to boot. I laughed out loud, and was moved just as often, as when it comes to shots to the heart, the writer is just as trigger-happy as his space-piratical protagonists.
Five-star read. Would recommend to fans of Douglas Adams, and of the world-building fantasy genre. I anticipate the sequel.
by Benedict Powell
A gripping read. Very imaginative.
by Ann
This excellent book invites readers to lose themselves entirely in an immersive and joyfully ridiculous new world.
Following the travels of a delightful young heroine, we are taken on a turbulent tour of the author’s vibrant and intractable imagination, providing a thrilling narrative for the adventures of this fearless child!
Packed with abrupt humour and unprecedented characters, it was really a pleasure to read and I can hardly wait for the sequel.
A solid six out of five starts from me.

Jon created such a wonderfully vivid world that sucked me in from the word go. Can't wait for the next installments!
by Emma
This is like a mash up of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Narnia. It was pretty imaginative setting, and the writing was good. It was a lot better than what I was expecting.

I really enjoyed reading it. Once I got into it I found it really hard to put down. Ended up having to ration it so I didn't stay up too late reading. Looking forward to the sequel.

A delightful fantasy world with quirky characters. This book vividly creates this alternate world and its characters. A welcome piece of escapism in these dark times of Lockdown.

Born in sunny Watford, Jon has dabbled with writing ever since he was young. As a big fan of both fantasy and sci-fi his stories have generally ended up on the more fantastical end of the spectrum. Favourite books include City of Dreaming Books and A Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy. If it's something a bit odd there's a good chance that he'll want to read it. Other interests include miniature wargaming, history, and anything super geeky. Along with writing Jon is also a trained actor, and annually appears in pantomimes, normally as the comic lead. When the World Falls Down is his first book, and part 1 of a series of 6. He has also started writing other fantasy and sci-fi work.
