Hi. My name's John Ravenscroft. I'm the ugly one with the beard.

I'm English, 48 years old, and a writer of fiction.

I live in Lincolnshire (a rural county on the east coast of the UK) with my wife Astra and my dog Ellie. No kids. Kids are very scary.

Here you'll find:

* links to some of my published (or prizewinning) stories / articles

* news of potential markets and current writing competitions

* any other odds and ends that happen to capture my attention.

If anything on my website captures your attention, please feel free to send me an email or leave a comment in my Guestbook.

John Ravenscroft's prose is:

'...murderous and true, but elegantly so and very visual.' (Fay Weldon)

'...both funny and well-observed.' (Sir John Mortimer)
