John Dunklin
John Dunklin joined the London Fire Brigade in 1971 and had a successful 31-year career.
Once retired, John volunteered to help school children to read. To encourage them, John wrote short stories with the children featured as the main characters. As the children were in the stories they enjoyed reading them. John continued this idea with his grandchildren who took delight in helping to shape the stories and read about themselves having adventures.
John has hobbies of DIY, reading, wood carving and gardening. He continues to enjoy writing stories.
