Biographie de John Prentice

My StoryAt 8 years old I wasn't much of a reader, in fact for me my bike was my world. If it didn't have wheels and a chain I wasn't much interested. This was back in the early 1970's when television had yet to take a hold on the UK. Then one Saturday I visited a friends house and they were just settling down to listen to the radio, it was not something that I was accustomed to, but they invited me to sit and listen with them.
At 8pm War of The Worlds serialised by the BBC burst into my life. You may have heard the story that when it was first broadcast on Halloween night in 1938 the response was immediate and passed into legend. As more than 6 million tuned in to the tale of the invasion from mars an estimated 1.2 million people believed that the radio play was real and panicked, jamming the roads in an attempt to escape.*From that night on, I was hooked, hooked on story, almost addicted to story and quickly became a voracious reader, consuming everything that I could get my hands on - including, after discovering where my father kept the keys to his bookcases, a few things perhaps I shouldn't have.
Now, as a professional writer, each day I enjoy the thrill of bringing words and worlds to life for others. And please, if you have feedback, I'd love to hear from you!www.sleepingkings.com*Study by Princeton professor, Hadley Cantril
