Author's Biography
John Mawson was born in London and attended Reigate Grammar School.

Having been astounded by science fact, he now writes science fiction.
Reviews
Ringturn is a well paced novel that manages to engage the reader and keep the interest going with a few good surprises, the novel has a nice way of keeping you hooked into the story. The alien locations are very well realised with a great level of detail that manages to portray an adapted civilisation on a completely alien world. There are also some very interesting ideas in the form of zero point energy and extra dimensions of space which may not be completely new, are told in an intelligent manner. Intelligent and very well written, Ringturn is a very enjoyable read, a novel that I have no hesitation in recommending. Antony, Editor of Science Fiction and Fantasy, Nov 2009
