John Reynolds
I write about a range of subjects for which I have a passion including art (particularly Renaissance and English landscape) English history, mythology and folk tales from around the world, world religions and theology. Those passions are helped by university degrees in Art History and Divinity and I'm planning to take a Masters in Art History.
I've been a journalist for 30 years and I've written about business, finance, politics and arts as a feature and news writer/reporter on newspapers ranging from tiny rural papers to national trade newspapers and magazines writing about financial and business matters. I've also worked as the production editor/chief sub on a weekly international financial newspaper and written personal opinion columns for business magazines.
