From an early age John Haylock was fascinated with abroad, in particular the East. He believes that one cannot properly know a place until one has set up house there. He has lived in Baghdad, Tokyo, Cyprus, Cairo, Tangier and Chiang Mai. He is the author of over twenty books. Arcadia Books has published his autobiography, Eastern Exchange, plus the novels Doubtful Partners, Body of Contention, Loose Connections and his most recent Sex Gets In The Way in 2006.
Haylock is a gay man, a World War II veteran, a traveler and writer who has taught in Iraq, lived in Cyprus and extensively explored South East Asia. As Haylock moved from Bagdhad to Tokyo, Thailand to Morocco, he encountered memorable characters like Agatha Christie, Duncan Grant and Robin Maugham, and witnessed the stormy prelude to the upheavals in Iraq.
