John Kruse is a writer, researcher, speaker, trainer and blogger with interests in several subjects, that include British myth and folklore, enforcement law and legal history. He has been fascinated by fairy lore since his early twenties. In mid-2016 he set up the WordPress blog "British Fairies" and started intensive fairy research and writing.In 2017 his themed examination of fairy-lore, "British Fairies," was published by Green Magic Publishing. His next book, "Faery" was published by Llewellyn Worldwide in April 2020 and "Beyond Faery," a companion volume on mermaids, hobgoblins and other faery beasts appeared in November that year. He's currently working on several other books on faery and he's published articles in various magazines, including Magical Times, Witches and Pagans, The Wild Hunt and Faerie Mag.
John worked in the field of social welfare law for over 30 years, specializing in civil enforcement (bailiffs' law). He gained considerable practical experience as an adviser, consultant and trainer and wrote numerous books and articles on current and historical enforcement law. In 2010 John founded Bailiffs Study Centre which produced newsletters, good practice guides and reports. He was involved in the reforms introduced in 2014. His Bailiff Scholar blog on WordPress is a forum for consideration of issues of enforcement law.
In autumn 2014 John also began to publish works of fiction. These stories fall into three broad areas: the fairy stories just mentioned, books based on his time living n the West Midlands in the late 1980s and stories about his teenage years and the music of the 1970s. See also John's blog, "Broadcast Barnsley," which features bands and genres from this same era (broadcastbarnsley.wordpress.com).
As well as "British Fairies," John writes two other blogs on Wordpress; these are broadcastbarnsley.wordpress.com, which discusses music and fashions of the 1970s and johnkruseblog.wordpress.com, which is a forum for his wider interests in the arts, history and the like.
