John Blake

Author and Artist

John Blake was born in Stoke-on-Trent, UK. He went on to form a band, study fine art and work in conservation, woodcraft and ceramic sculpture before taking up writing. He dislikes talking about himself, preferring to let his work speak for him, but you can find out a little more about him on his YouTube channel.

His writing has a dark and daring humour, combined with incisive observation and understanding. His first book, a satirical farce called Another Day in Paradise, will be published in 2025.

As an artist, John has worked in a wide range of media, most recently ceramic sculpture. His work will be available to buy in our online art shop soon.
