Raised in South West London, by hippie parents still hungover from the 60’s, Jack’s early years were split between travelling Europe alongside his family and kicking footballs inside the cage on the estate he grew up on. He describes his upbringing as a mixture of counterculture ideals and the council-estate-of-mind. Born in 1981 and a teen during the 90’s, early literary influences included Irvine Welsh’s Trainspotting, and London Fields, by Martin Amis. Dropping out of school before taking his exams, Jack bounced around, working menial jobs, expressing himself by creating poetry, music and stories. Inspired by his community, he developed a strong working-class voice, a tone which is prevalent throughout his work. Jack’s writing opts to explore the souls and sentiments of outlaws and outsiders, examining the mentality of characters on the fringe of society, in the hope that, from their vantage point, his stories can offer a wider perspective of the culture as a whole.
