Hello.
This is the official site of John Hartley (Writer).
Other John Hartleys exist. I know; I've been working on my family tree.
Other John Hartleys exist who are writers. I know this too, as my books often get attributed to them in error and, quite probably, they would complain the reverse is equally true.
So, by way of formal introduction, I am John Hartley, the writer who has brought the world various articles about music at Toppermost, Everything Indie Over 40, Dukla Prague Away Kit and Neo-Tokyo. I have also written about football on the In Bed With Maradona site. Some of these sites are now only accessible via the Way Back Machine. I might post some of my archive on here, for longevity's sake.
I am the same John Hartley who has written the following books:
'Capturing the Wry' (music memoir)
'The View From Orlando Bridge' (football memoir)
'Seasonal Adjustments' (poetry)
'From Banwell to Berlin and Beyond - the Book of BOB' (music biography)
'The Broken Bottle' (YA/New Adult fiction)
I will write about those in more detail on this blog.
Works in progress include parts 2 and 3 of 'The Broken Bottle' trilogy, 'Searching for the Sound of Riduna' (YA/New Adult fiction), and the follow-up to 'Capturing the Wry'.
I will write about these in more detail on this blog too.
I am also John Hartley, sometimes trading as Johny Nocash (est. 1988) in various recorded music guises. You can hear that sort of stuff at www.brokendownrecords.bandcamp.com
