In his riveting debut novel, The First Vampire, John Davies provides an alarmingly plausible explanation of why and how the first human was transformed into a vampire, against a backdrop of factual Eastern European history. In 1414, a priest and gifted singer from the Curtea de Arges region of Wallachia unknowingly set a chain of events in motion, which had the potential to cause catastrophic ramifications for centuries after. Forty-eight years later, Vlad Dracula returned home to Curtea de Arges after a great battle in which he slaughtered fifteen thousand Muslims. Triumph turned to tragedy when he learned that his turncoat brother, Radu, was lurking in the region. Dracula was about to face his greatest nemesis ever. Twenty-first-century, reluctant college sophomore, Kristi Johnson, is in a desperate race against time to save her family from complete disintegration. Her father commits the ultimate unspeakable act, and Kristi is forced to find answers immediately. Out of nowhere comes an unexpected possible solution-in the form of her unusual classmate, Alex. The paths of the priest, the warlord, and the college kid are set on the collision course from hell in this fascinating blend of history, myth, and undying love.
John Davies, an inveterate traveller and unstoppable people watcher, loves to document people going about their daily business around the world. He photographs ordinary people of all cultures and climes be they from Senegal or Shanghai, London or Laos; be they workers or wood collectors, chefs or chiefs. What they all have in common in this wonderfully diverse world is that at least at some time of the day, they are getting around and about.
Davies' poems track and map the characteristics of his relationships--with the environment, people he meets, loved ones, animals, work, childhood, fantasy, and, of course, sheds.This is a collection mingling wry humour with sharp focus that will leave you wondering and questioning what really matters.

Book number five from Surrey Poet John Davies. This may not be everyone's cup of tea, then again poetry is a mixed bag. I have my own personal Troller and I am so proud of the terrible reviews I get from him, especially as he is consistent in being a turd. Think Bukowski, Morrison, Huxley, Crowley. This is dark poetry but there is always hope and a few name checks along the way. A great read with wine and cheese.
Book number 6 from Surrey poet John Davies takes the viewer through a journey of the good, the bad and the very ugly avenues that life has made available to us. It is how we deal with it that makes us stronger. Poetry from a dark place but with a glimmer of hope along the way. Think Morrison, Ginsberg & Bukowski.
Gems of wisdom leap off every page in this striking and original exploration of the nativity accounts which peel back the layers of familiarity and sentiment which obscure the monumental wonder of God's becoming human.
This volume presents 12 interactive Bible stories exploring the wealth of meaning in the terms "healing" and "salvation" used by Jesus. Are they the same thing? What happened to the individuals concerned? What is the bigger message the Gospel writers are trying to get across? Focusing on key episodes in Jesus' ministry, this book aims to transform our understanding of these two great Christian concepts and offer fresh insights into the meaning of Scripture for today.
Explores the spiritual impact of one of the oldest and known Celtic hymns, the 4th century St Patrick's Breastplate. This book reflects on the spiritual challenge of each of the Breastplate's nine verses and sets out a vision for an earthy and engaged Christian spirituality for our times.
John Davies' new book, North by South, offers a choice selection from his substantial body of work. From the slate quarries of north Wales to the steelworks town of his youth in south Wales to the dirt roads of the American West, the poet's travels through rough landscapes and his meetings with the characters who inhabit them inspire witty, occasionally satirical and often piercing meditations.John Davies was brought up in Port Talbot, south Wales, and in Prestatyn where he taught English. He has also taught in Michigan and Washington. In 1986 The Visitor's Book, his third collection, was joint winner of the Poetry Society's major award, the Alice Hunt Bartlett Prize. John Davies is also a talented wood carver.
