He spent the period of the Second World War mostly at Redbridge an eastern suburb of Greater London and considers himself fortunate to have survived the V1 (flying bomb) and V2 (rocket) attacks on Southern England. His father served in the Royal Air Force throughout the war.John Vetterlein went on to study mathematics and physics before undertaking work in civilian hospitals as a conscientious objector to military National Service. Before continuing his studies in chemistry and pharmacology he worked as a lecturer and astronomer. Following a brief period working as a secondary school teacher in London he moved to Wales in order to concentrate on writing. He quickly became involved with music joining the Music Department, University College of Wales, Aberystwyth from 1983 until its closure in 1990. (He is a member of the Haydn Society of Great Britain, the Rachmaninoff Society and the Ralph Vaughan Williams Society.)In 1990 Vetterlein took up full-time residence in Orkney where he combines his interests in astronomy, music, photography and writing. He is passionate about the natural environment and a dedicated hill walker. Apart from his ability to sit for long periods at his writing desk, he admits to just one natural talent that of a fast-medium bowler of cutters.
