John Paul lives in the City of Liverpool and has written 25 books including the anthology In Violet with award winning poetry and is the official biographer of two Italian saints: Clare of Assisi and Gemma Galgani of Lucca.
Three years at the Laird School of Art (photography) in Merseyside led to a long career as a photographer in forensics (yes - the real life scary stuff of “Silent Witness”) before making the move to commercial and documentary photography including film production. John Paul also spent twelve years on the Kensington Palace royal photographic rota working closely with Her Royal Highness Diana - Princess of Wales that turned into a rollercoaster adventure of priceless memories. JP also featured on television, radio and as a real life character in Blake Morrison’s collection of stories entitled Too True.
For the complete story please check out the newly revised and recently extended autobiography I Saw Her Standing There.

All of the books featured on the website plus many others are also freely available globally from many online book stores and libraries and from publishing partners including Obooko and Smashwords that offer a variety of reading formats.
Why free books? During those long periods of Covid 19 lockdowns when book shops and libraries were closed and access to the written word for many became more difficult and costly I decided to negotiate with my original publisher a revision of all previous rights legally back to myself which allows many of my books to be freely available without cost and in doing so help to promote the free reading movement worldwide and save a few trees.
