A Short Biography

John T. Hope, originally from Manchester, moved to London in 1999 to pursue a career as a self-employed carpenter. At 42 years old, John's life took a transformative turn over the past fifteen years when he began writing, a passion sparked by a mental episode following the 2008 economic crash. He has been diagnosed as a philosopher living with bipolar, not disorder and displays compulsive calligraphy.

In his journey, he has worked to re-educate himself, striving to overcome the limitations of his early education. Writing has become a therapeutic outlet for him, serving as a powerful tool for rehabilitation that offers immense benefits to those grappling with mental health challenges.

Initially self-publishing two books, John released Omni’s Wordsmith Mantra, a spiritual manuscript exploring love and relationships. His work conveys a perspective on divinity that challenges the overshadowing influence of religious dogma, expressed through poetic prose and improvisations.

Now, with a clearer understanding of his writing path, John has penned The Whistling Wind, a memoir that delves into the economic exploitation of ethnic minorities alongside themes of love and relationships. Through his storytelling, he hopes readers will gain insight and wisdom.

In addition to his writing, John is a qualified counterbalance forklift driver. He also lends his expertise to the Mental Health Department of the NHS, advising on ways to enhance their services. Currently, he is in the final stages of completing his fourth novel, The Chronicles Of The Fallen Heroes.
