John also published a book with his own collection of poems called After the Accident (published by Lapwing Publications Belfast). He even wrote a poem about the day See Change broke the Guinness World Record!

While she'd be delighted to chat about any See Change query you may have, the West Wing, Paris and getting cheap flights would be her Mastermind topics!
