John Reardon was born in, Newport South Wales but now lives in Northamptonshire with his wife Jackie. He has two children, Mark (married to Kelly) and Emma. Four grandchildren, Megan, Ceinwen, Aoife and Evan. After playing in bands in the 60s he spent 22 years in the Royal Air Force before embarking on a career in Information Technology with the Oracle Corporation, Capgemini UK and Jaguar Land Rover. He rekindled his love of playing guitar in the late 90s and since then has played in bands with numerous people around the counties of Buckinghamshire and Northamptonshire before concentrating, in 2013, back on the only real band he has enjoyed playing with; the Pieces of Mind. This is his first book and probably at his age, it will be the last, well except for this updated version. No thrillers or romantic novels from him.
