Verb after quoted sentence
For some reason, I'm somewhat confused about the word order in the following example. Do we always start with the subject after a quoted bit of speech? Which sentence is right?
"Here everything is so different," says John to his mother.
"Here everything is so different," John says to his mother.
"Here everything is so different," says John to his mother.
"Here everything is so different," John says to his mother.
