The person behind the pages
John P. Meaden
John P. Meaden is a British author whose writing crosses genres, driven by a fascination with people, the choices they make, and the extraordinary situations that can emerge from seemingly ordinary lives.
His work ranges from the sweeping, thought-provoking world of Populous — a speculative thriller exploring artificial intelligence, power, survival and the future of humanity — to the dark humour, friendship and escalating chaos of the Green Fingers series.
A versatile writer, John’s work extends beyond fiction for adults. He has also written non-fiction works, as well as books for children, allowing him to explore very different subjects, audiences and styles of storytelling.
Rather than confining himself to a single genre, John writes the stories and ideas that capture his imagination. Whether exploring the consequences of technological progress, the resilience of the human spirit, the absurdities of everyday life, or simply creating stories designed to make a child smile, his writing is united by curiosity, character and imagination.
At the heart of his work is a belief that the best writing should connect with its reader — sometimes by making them think, sometimes by making them laugh, and sometimes simply by taking them somewhere they have never been before.
John came to fiction later in life, proving something he believes passionately: creativity has no expiry date. There is always another story to tell, another idea worth exploring and another adventure to begin.
Sometimes, the most interesting chapters arrive when you least expect them.
