Biographie:
Jon Gliddon is a retired mining engineer and lives with his wife and three cats on the edge of the Mendip Hills in North Somerset. An early interest in writing was put on hold whilst raising a family and building a career. With retirement on the horizon, the prospect of writing a novel came to the fore. A visit to the Porthcurno Telegraph Museum on a trip to Cornwall was the catalyst. The picturesque location, the amazing technology and the strategic nature of the telegraph in WWII, provided the focus for his first WW2 action thriller, Break in Communication.
Jon's second book was motivated by research into his Grandfather's experiences in WW1. Mud, Blood & Bayonet, The Story of the 6th Battalion Dorsetshire Regiment 1918 day by day, is drawn from military and personal WW1 diaries. The book was published on 1st January 2018 to mark the Centenary year.
His second novel, The Forbidden Zone, is scheduled to be published later in 2020. This action thriller is set in August 1939 in the diamond-rich former German South West Africa, now the Republic of Namibia, a country that the author visited many times....
