His early musical exploits, particularly the fact
that he wrote most of his band's songs with a metaphorical
bent, set the stage for his writing. Subsequent
careers in the corporation and advertising photography

organizations, and art.
Teaching photography AND writing allowed him to
experience the analytical sides of both crafts,
which paved the way for his starting Eloquence Press,

rationale behind it—a true study of man's
interaction with his environment. Jack's love of
the graphic arts has also enabled him to design
his book covers.

of Writing gave Jack more tools to perfect the subtleties
of his writing in a number of genré, although
he has decided that "unique contemporary drama"
is a term that most accurately describes his work.
It evolves from the drama he has found in many slices
of Americana, some which he has personally experienced.
The trade would commonly call his work "commercial
fiction" or "mainstream fiction,"
but, as you shall see, its intensity and his allegorical
style also gives the work a certain literary quality.
