Financial Adviser... to Children’s Author

In early 2018, John Williams decided that the 30 years he had spent as an Independent Financial Adviser was just about enough. A change was needed. By September, he had enrolled as a full-time History student at Wrexham Glyndŵr University and went on to gain a BA (Hons) degree in 2021. During his time as a student, Wrexham-born John also put time aside to draft a short story for children.

Aimed at young readers aged from six to nine, John’s story is called ‘Adventures with Raymond and Bonnie: The Deserted Cottage’.

Here is a bit more about the story: Living in rural Billsborough County, a young robin called Raymond and his best friend Bonnie, a blue tit, get into all sorts of adventures but they stick together and lean on each other’s strengths. The little chums always have fun together but on one particular winter’s day, their normally safe and peaceful environment is threatened by the arrival of two suspiciouslooking strangers with less than friendly intentions. Who are these intruders and what, exactly, do they want? Far from being fun, this turns out to be a very challenging day that the little feathered friends will never forget...

John is planning a sequel featuring the young feathered pals who just can’t resist an opportunity to help others.
