Hey there, fellow travelers of the dark… I’m Jack. Jack D. Ace. Welcome back to the stretch of road we’ve been driving down together. It’s been an incredible ride so far, and with 16 books now out in the wild, we are nowhere near done. We’ve had a blast exploring the shadows, and the engine is still running hot.By day, I’m still elbow-deep in code and servers in a glass tower in Manhattan. But by night, the real work begins. My writing has grown into a twisted playground of shifting genres and dark themes, proving that terror and obsession come in many different forms.Whether you are looking for bone-chilling horror or heart-pounding suspense, there is a corner of my

Hi Aisha, that’s a great question—and honestly, the answer is that the story usually comes first, not the inspiration.
I almost always have something in mind. A fragment. An image. A feeling. Sometimes it’s a classic horror motif twisted just slightly out of shape, sometimes it’s something I haven’t seen done before. With Ed Gein’s Car, for example, it started with that simple thought: what if there’s still a story hidden in something no one ever looked at closely enough?
I’m drawn to the spaces where horror already exists—in history, in rumor, in the things people whisper about but never fully explore. From there, the story builds itself. I just follow it and push it as far as it’s willing to go.
Best regards, Jack(less)

Hi Emily!
Great to connect with you too! I’m currently working on a Halloween slasher—bloody, nasty, and hopefully exactly the kind of fun horror I like to write. I’m aiming to have it out within the next couple of weeks, so the final push is on right now! Thanks for asking, and I’ll definitely let you know when it’s released. Best, Jack(less)

The Highway Revenant is Uploaded and LIVE

Hey everyone, dear readers,

it’s done. After months of writing, rewriting, and staring at the screen until my eyes burned, The Highway Revenant is finally uploaded and NOW LIVE.
This book has been living in my head for years. I’ve always been obsessed with road movies and roadside horror. The Hitcher, Duel, Christine, Joy Ride — those stories about lost and lonely highways, flickering headlights, an Read more of this blog post »

Frank Garff Thanks jack
i got the group back..

i WILL be doing what i can to control the bots

i posted more information on the attacks on the discussion page


message 3: by Frank

Frank Garff jack,,
have you put your books on the bookshelf?
i don't remember seeing you introduce yourself

I've set this thing up with new writers in mind. I want you to become 'known'.
maybe this isn't a BIG audience but it's free and it's local.

i would advise to introduce yourself (there's a special tab for that) then scroll down and see how others have done it.
Tell us about yourself, what kinds of books you write.. and where you intend to go in the future.

This will help members find you if YOU tell the stories they want to read.

We are glad to have you

MY opinion... without writers... Good Reads would collapse.
Bear with me... i didn't create this group.
i found it.. and i revived it.
if you see an issue... contact me.
i might not be able to fix it... but i won't ignore you


message 2: by Jack

Jack Ace Hello Majenta, Thank you so much for your kind message and warm wishes. Your congratulations mean a great deal to me, and I'm truly grateful that you took the time to reach out. Writing is a journey filled with imagination, challenges, and plenty of late nights, but encouragement from wonderful readers and fellow book lovers makes it all worthwhile. Have a good time and enjoy your reads. Warm regards, Jack


Majenta Hello, Jack! Thank you for contacting me. Congratulations on your books! Happy reading, writing, and everything else. Blessings
Best wishes from Majenta
