Walker
Joe Jackson claims to be a "Sweet
Onion" born in Vidalia, Georgia. Kicked
out of the nest at eighteen he joined the US Air
Force and saw some of the world. His
hitch of three years was extended one year by
Harry Truman when the Korean war started.
After serving eight months of the add on, he
attended Georgia Tech and earned a BS Degree
in Industrial Engineering. He walked the
'hot sands' and became a Shriner. He loves the
game of tennis, playing jazz on his trumpet,
ballroom dancing and writing stories. Now, he's a
devoted writer working hard creating more stories for readers to
enjoy. He
has self published 15 books at a
professional and popular print-on-demand
publisher LULU.COM.
In
'79, he moved to Florida and started
playing tennis. This lifestyle change resulted
in the loss of 53 pounds of ugly lard. His
love of tennis attracted him to the green
grass of The All England Club Wimbledon. He
went 1989 and learned to get the impossible
dream, a Centre Court ticket, he'd need to
queue over night. That entailed sleeping on
the street. The tennis was spectacular and he
became addicted. After
his fourth backpacking visit, he arrived
home and started narrating his adventures.
After stringing 51,000 words that he named
“Fabulous Wimbledon,” he knew he wanted to
write stories for the rest of his life.
Next,
he spent six year at writing forums
learning the craft while creating two epics:
“That Neapolitan Furlough” and “Rose, Ma
Petite.” He followed with a sequel to
"Rose, Ma Petite” he named "Dual
Images - Saint and Sinner." Then, he
wrote a PI Adventure he named “Private
Dick Hackney McTrite.”
Jackson recently finished a
medical thriller, “Rx
Conspiracy Files,” the tenth in the
series. It's a wakeup call to patients taking
prescription drugs. Read it. The life you save
may be your own. Deloris Pillsbury Powers, now
married, shines in this book. McTrite is
attending the Wimbledon Tournament. He coaches
his adopted son and daughter who are playing
in the main draws at Wimbledon. However, he solves the snake charmer
mystery that's eluded Scotland Yard for years.
He almost has the sequel finished. It's
entitled Rx Conspiracy Files Continued. It's a
short read.
If he never sells a book, he
will not be sleeping
in his car or standing in soup lines, but he
loves to be read. Thank you.
He
loves feedback. Rattle his cage walker@walkerjackson.com.
