edit data

Since the earliest he can remember, John has had a passion for writing. Particularly in English. From the 200-word ‘compositions’ at school, and through various attempts at writing a novel in his early teens, John’s passion grew along with him.

His efforts were not in vain, for in his mid-twenties John published his first book on Amazon, followed by another one, published in the summer of 2015. At present, John is in the process of publishing a historical fiction novel set in the 19th century Valletta.

Born in Malta, John lived in B’kara till he was 10, when he moved with his family to Hamrun. He is now married to Justine, and lives in Pembroke (still Malta!)

Halloween: A Celebration of Fun or a Cause for Concern?

As Halloween approaches, it often sparks debate in Malta, particularly on social media. Some argue that this celebration, with its dark themes and macabre costumes, poses dangers—especially to young, impressionable minds.
