John Bentley was born in Stoke-on-Trent in 1950. He moved to attend Nottingham University where he gained a degree in French Studies and Education. Teaching as Head of Modern Languages followed in tandem with playing bass guitar and keyboards with an array of bands. A Francophile, John best loves Provence, where "And they danced under the bridge", his first novel, is set in medieval times when the Plague afflicted Avignon. He writes, with compassion and insight, a story of young Marius who led the struggle against this scourge.
