Jack

Rate this book
On a train crossing the Australian outback, a failed writer encounters a stranger that would change his career forever. When Frank was approached by the oddly dressed man, his first thought was that he had to deal with a crazed fan and with a deadline looming, he didn’t have the time or patience for it. This trip was his last chance to save his dying career and he hadn’t a clue where to start. He didn’t have the time to placate this man.

But this was no ordinary man and this chance meeting might be just what he needs to write the story of a lifetime. Because every demon has a story to tell…this is Jack’s…

This short sucks you in from the first chapter. Frank is an author struggling to come up with his next story when he meets Jack. Jack was trained by Lucian who disappeared on him some years ago.
Jack has chosen for Frank to write his story, but will Frank agree to this? I guess we want know until the next one.
The last page have me goose bumps. What did that letter say?

Favorite lines from this:

"what do you think will happen once we fill our quota of souls?"

"We are the temptation".

WOW. Just WOW!! This is the first story I have read from Mr. Chapman and one that is just a tease of what he has to offer old and new fans. His characters will grab you and hold you hostage in more ways than one. I found myself not wanting this short to end and now am looking forward to reading the stories that follow to this amazing introduction of what great works he has to snatch his fans up with.
Frank is a writer trying to write a new novel to keep his publicist from dropping him like a bad habit. While on a train, an unexpected visitor named Jack will change the course of Frank’s life forever. Be ready for the ride of your life!!
