    Welcome to the Johncurzonauthor home page. Though you find yourself here you can at least console yourself with the thought that having sunk this low, you can't fall any further.

    When it comes to personal questions, the quote from The Prisoner (the proper 1967 original rather than the risible 2009 remake) sums my attitude up nicely. "Questions are a burden upon others; answers a prison for oneself."

    If you choose to follow me then don't expect too much in return. It's not that I'm antisocial; or don't want to follow you, read your books, or critique your writing, but my severely impaired vision will only allow me to do so much: That, and I'm trying to get some writing done; which isn't easy as you may imagine. I hope you understand; too bad if you don't. However I will follow people whose works or profile interest me.

    Having been abandoned by the education system as 'remedial' due to my disability I mostly taught myself to read and write, as well as self-educating. Unfortunately sometimes it shows in my work. I strive to do my best but, as happens to everyone, I often fall short. I post completed works rather than regular installments as I am a slow writer, and you probably spend enough of your time waiting around already.

    If you choose to read my works I hope you find the experience worthwhile. Thank you for your interest.

"Terrifying."

"Brilliant."

"Wow."

"The Shaking is a unique story. Well defined characters with a good pace of the story."


Seismic terror is about to strike...

Maverick geologist Brian McLean was ridiculed when he warned London and south east England were at imminent risk of suffering a major earthquake. But when the unthinkable happens buildings collapse, power grids crash, transport is gridlocked, and high-tech life grinds to a shuddering halt.

In the stunned aftermath courier Ryan Buckland journeys through a shattered city in a frantic search to be reunited with his family, Deputy Prime Minister Stuart Pullman sees the emergency as his chance to seize power, while nuclear engineer Alan Carter desperately tries to avert a far greater catastrophe.

If he fails, destructive aftershocks will be the least of our problems...


A homage to penny dreadful natural disaster trash fiction, The Shaking will rock you to your very core! A 103,000 word novel.

Rated PG 16.
