Cornelius Cone

A journey into children's storytelling with my friend, Steve Boyce.

In 2018, Steve Boyce came up with the idea of a traffic cone called Cornelius whilst sat in a queue on a local motorway. There was a sign which read; Cone Hotline with a local phone number and from that, a whole local community of characters was born. In 2020, Steve offered John the chance to join him on this writing journey and together, they have written over 80 ebook adventures featuring Cornelius Cone and his many friends.
