John Devlin has taken the long road through life—one that led from quiet fields in Ireland to the busy streets of China and Vietnam.

His stories are born from chance encounters, overheard gossip, and the unforgettable characters who crossed his path along the way.

Some tales are funny, others lean toward the tragic, but all live in the space where humor and hardship meet.

Through writing, he preserves the fleeting moments of travel—the smell of a café in Saigon, the noise of a bus in Long An, or the laughter of strangers in London.

For John, storytelling is more than memory—it’s a way of keeping the road alive, one tale at a time.
