John Summers, writer with a connection to Wales (Rhymney)

John Summers

John's book 'The Raging Summer, is a personal high point, but his work is varied. 'The road to Andamooka' is a tale of his travels from Canada to Australia, with only a couple of quid in his pockets.

Connection: Born in Rhymni, in the Rhymney Valley, Wales.

Anyone reading this with a link to any publishing companies, his book on Aberfan, 'The Disaster' and 'The Raging Summer', are screaming out for re-publishing. John is now living in Swansea.

He was married to my mother Val for some time. I met him when I was a teenager (I didn't live with my mum) but never read his books.

Interested in researching his fictional take on the Free Wales Army in "The Disaster" in light of parallels I'm researching with Irish republicanism.
