John Mole was born in Birmingham England. After modern languages at Oxford and an MBA from INSEAD he had a succession of jobs from selling stencil duplicators in Eastern Europe to banking in the Middle East. He wrote the best-selling 'It's All Greek To Me!' about life in his village on Negropont - now known as Evia. 'The Sultan's Organ' is a modern English version of the wonderful diary of an Elizabethan musician, taking a self-playing organ and clock to Constantinople. 'I Was A Potato Oligarch' is about his doomed attempt to set up a fast food restaurant in Moscow. 'Mind Your Manners' is a best-selling guide to the business cultures of the new Europe. He has published three comic novels - 'Sail or Return', 'The Monogamist' and 'Thanks, Eddie!' They are all on Kindle.
