As an Author Jack began with songwriting and poetry. His poems have been published in Casandra a collection of Poems, and his book Scattered Pieces. He then had received ideas for Children’s books and later Novels. The idea for creating joke books was inspired by a short stint as a Stand-up Comedian, after taking a comedy class at Governors Comedy Club. The Children’s books Are there Monsters in My Closet? & Burnt Eggs and Scrambled Toast, were inspired by his own childhood shenanigans, and based the idea of his nieces in nephew taking part in those same sort of hijinks. The other books of fiction were things Jack had wanted to try and experiment with. Every different form is an experiment in creativity. There are new books in the works, so keep checking back on this website to see what’s new!
