Jack Eadon began by writing a book in grade school, then a short
story. In high school he began a decade in rock music with the
band Khazad Doom, writing
many of the songs with a moralistic drama theme, something he
continues to put into his writing today.
He entered the corporate world with his MBA in 1974, which took
him to 1983, when he opened a business in southern California.
Now, after having lived in Illinois, Texas, California, Kansas,
and Illinois, Jack resides back in southern California with
his executive wife and Caspurr the Cat, and writes full-time.
He relies on a few close friends and a network of e-mail buddies
to provide him a support system. He travels occasionally, doing
book talks or attending conventions in the many places he's
lived.
Jack became interested in the Internet during the nineties when
he corresponded with a young woman, new to this country. Lacey's
Day was "a real stretch" for him. Not only was it
his first love story, but the cross-cultural twist made it quite
challenging. Henry James once said something like, "character
defines plot and plot defines character." This is exactly
the dynamic behind Ted and Lacey meeting on the Internet and
falling hopelessly in love: Their characters are a true derivation
of the circumstances in the plot, but the plot unfolds directly
as a result of the nature of the characters.
