Dreams and Realities

By Jonathan L Trapman

About Jonathan Trapman:

Author since aged 9.

First novel The Bull got fair marks at school, noting author in need of improvement.

Began his professional career as a photojournalist, working for some of the top titles in Fleet Street. Among them the London Times, Daily Express and a very short, boring stint with the Sun. Exposed to the propaganda and half truths demanded from photo/journalists in the ‘70s and 80s, his soul was worth more than the tarnished shekels of Corporate Cronyism.

Becoming one of the industry’s foremost photographers he enjoyed getting to know the world, its peoples and a far wider vision of life on earth on others’ behalf and at others’ expense.

He has appeared on TV and radio including BBC, France Inter and online radio. He has been invited to creative and literary conferences across the globe.
In 2013 he, in partnership with his wife, published a ground breaking, first ever, in nearly 1000 years, translation of 10th century Sufi founder/mystic saint Hoja Ahmed Yassawi’s Diwani Hikmet.
He is currently occupied writing the remaining 6 books in the heptalogy  opus The Freedom Cycle

Jonathan L. Trapman, author and photographer, has written since aged 9 and photographed professionally since aged 16. His first novel The Bull got fair marks at school and marked him out as an author in need of improvement. Defying his early detractors he began his professional career as a photojournalist, working for some of the top titles in Fleet Street at the time. Among them the London Times, Daily Express and a very short and boring stint with the Sun newspaper. Having been exposed to the amount of propaganda and half truths demanded from photo/journalists in the ‘70s and 80s, he decided his soul was worth more than shekels earned from the news rooms of corporate cronyism. Marking his further career becoming one of the industry’s foremost photographers he enjoyed getting to know the world, its peoples and a far wider vision of life on earth on others’ behalf and at others’ expense. He has appeared on TV and radio including the BBC, France Inter and online radio. He has been invited to speak at creative and literary conferences across the globe. From early 2012, in partnership with his wife, he has accomplished several translations of foreign writers. The most enduring, endearing and ground breaking has been the first ever, in nearly 1000 years, translation of 10th century Sufi founder and mystic saint Hoja Ahmed Yassawi’s Diwani Hikmet (Divine Wisdom) poetry and sacred verse.(www.diwanihikmet.com) His magnum opus The Freedom Cycle is an ambitious seven book project, Dreams and Realities being the first. Currently working on them to publish over the next few years. Jonathan presently lives in Somerset, UK.
