John Waller was born within sight of the ‘continent’ on the hills above Hythe in Kent, six weeks before the Dunkirk evacuation of British, French, Belgian and Canadian troops. After Cambridge University, he trained as an engineer at IBM and set up and ran a successful computer company in 1969.
In 1970, he and his Danish wife Jannie built a minute house in Corfu, where he wrote eight non-fiction books, two stage plays and a screen play after his retirement in 1999.
He was Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Candidate for Twickenham in 1979, 1983 and 1987.
John and Jannie cruised the world: to Japan and back; around South America; to the US, Mexico and up the Amazon; to Scandinavia and Russia; to New Zealand via South Africa and back via India.
John sent his first book to 99 agents. 98 said "No"; one said "Self-publish" and Yiannis Books was born.
