John Parker has been a journalist and writer all his working life. He went straight from Kettering Grammar School to join Northampton Chronicle and Echo as a trainee reporter and remained in local newspapers until securing a position with the Nassau Daily Tribune in the Bahamas .
He later worked for Life magazine, New York , before returning to the UK to join the Daily Mirror as a sub-editor. Home town beckoned again when at 30, he was appointed editor of Northamptonshire Evening Telegraph, the country's youngest evening newspaper editor at that time.
Towards the 1980s, he returned to Fleet Street, rejoining Mirror Group, holding various senior editorial positions before resigning during the era of Robert Maxwell to concentrate wholly on his writing. To date, he has published 35 books in hardback which have appeared in 68 editions in the UK and more than 40 international editions. |
