My name’s Jonathan Rich and for 20 years I wrote television scripts. Now that I’m writing novels, it’s time for a change — so J J Rich it is.

My first novel, BAGMAN, came out on Amazon in July 2023. It’s a story about Andy Hughes, a guy who works in a music store, and his dreams of making it as a pro guitarist. It came about because I love guitars and as a result of all the time I’ve spent talking to guys who work in music stores. The book kind of wrote itself.

If you’d like a look, here’s a link to the book on Amazon: BAGMAN.

The sequel, BAGMAN HITS THE ROAD follows Andy’s journey. Click on the link to find out more.

My third novel, WOKE UP THIS MORNING, is a different kind of story about playing the guitar and looks at how obsessive the dream can be. But that it’s for now with the guitars. My next novel, HOW HARD CAN IT BE?, which came out on 1st June 2024, is a romantic comedy with no guitars anywhere in sight!

The last one, THE BLOODY BROTHERS, was another change of direction - a vampire novel, which was a lot of fun to write. And to me, that’s the most important thing. The moment I cease to enjoy writing, I promise I’ll stop! Vampires turned out to be so much fun that my next novel continues the vampire brothers’ story.

I strongly believe that everyone has a book in them. Everyone has their own special story to tell. If I can write a novel, so can you. I can’t pretend that I’ve got all the answers but if you want some quick tips, check out my blog using the link at the top of this page.
