John Connor was born in 1964 and has been writing poetry since he was sixteen. Following the death of his Mother and Father, John noticed that his poetry had changed. He wrote to give himself comfort and when he shared his words with others found his poems also gave comfort to them.

Now, with thousands of followers on Facebook and a regular spot writing poetry for a grief management site called ‘Healing Hugs’, John is surprised at his sudden rise to fame. His work has also appeared on the ‘Words of Wisdom’ site which currently has over a million followers!

A down to earth family man who dreams of going to America due to his love of 1950s music, John wants his poetry to touch the hearts and souls of those lost in grief.

This is his first collection and he hopes his poetry will inspire and comfort you in your daily lives.

John has agreed to donate 10% of the proceeds from this collection to the St Helena Hospice in Colchester, UK, a charity close to John’s heart.
