Books By John W. Pattison - Author

John Walker Pattison is proud to call South Shields his hometown. He recently retired from his senior cancer nursing post, swapping his stethoscope for a pen in order to focus his attention on writing children's fiction. Pattison's life changed forever, the day he was diagnosed with cancer (1975), and yet today, almost 50 years later, he is humbled to be one of the longest-surviving cancer patients in the UK. His work is inspired by his grandson, Daniel, and the two adventurers are looking forward to seeking out trouble wherever they go. Pattison firmly believes that "Nothing is as important as family." Life is just wonderful, a continuous lesson for everyone, but it is not a rehearsal, life is to be enjoyed - he would suggest children study hard and play even harder - seek out their dreams because dreams do come true.
