John Uren
John Uren was born in Newcastle-on-Tyne but has lived beside the Leeds-Liverpool canal in Yorkshire with his wife Rosemary for many years. He loves cricket and used to run 10km races until one of his knees gave up. During his career as an engineering surveyor and map-maker, he co-authored several student textbooks. He has also written a local history book about the village in which he grew up in County Durham. ‘The Sorx and the Qorx’ is his first book for children. Others are planned.
