Celebration Time - Ten years since I am Cancer Free



Come celebrate with me. It is now ten years since I am Cancer Free.
I am offering my story of my battle with Ovarian Cancer FREE with a Kindle Free Book Promotion from Sunday 22nd May to Wednesday 25th May 2016.





Read one of the latest Five-star Reviews below:

John Hennessy - Goodreads

Thoughtful and detailed account of defeating the most terrible of diseases

I am Cancer Free is an extremely positive title for something that is so terrifying to pretty much all of us, were we to be diagnosed with it.

No illness is pleasant, but surely cancer is one of the very worst, and although survival rates are increasing all the time depending on the type of cancer concerned, it is good to know that the author, who thankfully defeated this terrible disease, overcome it in order to pen this extremely good read.

From a carefree life, visiting friends and relatives, through to the initial concerns and then onto the diagnosis, the author takes us on a journey in this book. But potential readers shouldn't be put off by the subject matter. The author has bravely chose to share her experience with the reader. It is never negative, although some of it is very harrowing to read.

The description of the subsequent and very necessary operation which resulted in the author regaining her full health is a case of just enough information. There's no need for gory details and we don't get them. In essence, the author has the balance right between info-dumping and info-giving.

Again, it's a book that educates and informs.

Thank goodness for medical insurance. In the UK, we are fortunate that the NHS provides many life saving treatments. I do hope the government (s) wake up and spend money on research to defeat this terrible disease in all its forms.

Well done to the author on the beating of this disease and in the creation of this book.

"John Hennessy is the British author of paranormal fantasy horror for YA, psychological horror and murder mysteries, plus his own unique take on vampire lore. He has also written ghost stories and delved into high epic fantasy with a hint of romance.

He boasts an eclectic and diverse reading taste, books in his collection ranging from the JRR Tolkien, George Orwell, J Sheridan le Fanu, JK Rowling, Stephen King, Anne Rice and Neil Gaiman.

He will read any genre, but particularly loves horror. That said, his favourite children’s book, Rebecca’s World by Terry Nation, remains an all time favourite, sitting alongside Tolkien’s work and that of George Orwell and Bram Stoker on his reading shelf.

A kung fu addict; he teaches martial arts full-time but writes at all other times, working on four series:- Dark Winter, Haunted Minds, Stormling and A Tale of Vampires.

When he doesn’t have a book in his hands, he likes to travel and see weird and wacky things. He admits to having an unhealthy addiction to Star Trek, Batman, Charmed and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, to name but a few. He will also travel to reputed scary places in England, as he feels it makes his books more real.

Five Star Review of Stormling - Book One of The Legends of Mordana Series (An Epic Fantasy): Book One of The Legends of Mordana Series (Book One of the Mordana Chronicles 1) John Hennessy



Over the past few days I was caught up in John Hennessy’s world of Stormlings, Storm Lords, sorceresses, elves, dwarves, giants, stormbirds and other creatures, gem stones, as well as the mystical powers of some beings.
Although Paranormal Fantasy is not my preferred genre, I read the 500 page book to the very end and found it most intriguing.
John is a talented and skilled writer and his writings impressed me.
He deserves full marks for his imagination, creativity, and writing skills, and for putting together such a story filled with so many characters with the strangest of names..
I enjoyed the book and would be reading more of his books.
I must add that I would like to see this book made into a movie. It has good potential for one.
