| Introduction | Ever since he was a teenager Jack F has travelled the world. His unlikely escapades include modelling cowboy hats in Tokyo, being a Helsinki Teddy Boy, coaching Bangkok’s Elvis and running a dysfunctional boarding school in Switzerland. In the UK he spent many years working in special education with children and counselling their parents. Jack discovered his creative voice in a pagoda on the Thai border and went on to study creative writing at Brunel University. He pens all manner of stories and poems, often with a cheeky dash of Buddhist teaching. In his free time Jack enjoys board games, walking meditation and retro, vintage things. Jack now divides his time between the lovely medieval town of Shrewsbury and Thailand. His stories are dedicated to his wonderful wife and children. |
