Jonathan Thornton | 24 comments Hello everyone!

My name is Jonathan Thornton, and I'm new to Goodreads (so no author page yet).
My favourite genre to read is horror, my favourite genre to write is fantasy...
...so it's a bit weird that my current series, QIA (latest weekly episode, "Manchester", was released on Amazon this last Monday), is a sci-fi espionage thriller.
An interesting fact about me is that I am a teacher; I taught for two years in Dubai, but right now I teach two days a week and I am a writer/stay-at-home daddy the rest of the time!
