About
John Belchamber
My name is John Robert Belchamber (JRB) I’m just a regular middle aged, happily married father of three, living life in wonderful Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. Why Use The R? I know it’s not common for people to use their middle initial these days. My Dad was John Belchamber so at a young age I realized that to the outside world, the ‘R’ was what differentiated us. Though my Dad passed away many years ago, the older I get, the more that ‘R’ becomes one of the few ways to tell us apart. Why Publish The Books? I’ve always had a love of word play, but it’s only recently that I’ve started writing things down via social media and my blogs. I wanted have a way of keeping my humble words for my family archive and this seemed a good way to achieve that. As Michel De Montaigne wrote to his reader whilst introducing his essays “I am myself the matter of my book; you would be unreasonable to spend your leisure on so frivolous and vain a subject.” But what does he know!
