I write as Jack D McLean. My books were originally written as Jack Strange then re-released as Jack D McLean novels.

I’ve had a very varied career.

Its included working in a morgue, digging holes for a living, shifting heavy things onto trucks and off them again, selling advertising space, writing press-releases, and being a Solicitor of the Supreme Court (in America you’d call that being a lawyer). I’ve done other stuff too.

My favourite authors include Russell H. Greenan, Jerzy Kosinski, Jim Thompson, and Simon Kernick (and a great many more – far too many to mention).
I enjoy parties and I keep myself fit.

I'm married with two adult daughters.

How I rate books: I just rate them based on whether they had me turning the page. That's it. I don't break them down and analyse plotting, characterisation etc. Please note: there are lots of books out there that are perfectly good books, but I didn't like them. So if I give a book a bad review, don't take my word for it - read at least some of the book and exercise your own judgement!

Reviews

[Cassie Gallegos]

LOVED this book!

So many interesting stories, fables, and legends... suddenly, lots of the superstitions I've heard surrounding the ocean, mermaids, pirates, etc. make sense. Some of the stories were absolutely CRAZY, and it really gave me perspective on where we are in society and what all we take for granted these days...

It was an incredibly interesting read, and so easy to read, I finished it in a little over two days.

I really appreciated the openmindedness of the author and their unbiased telling of all the accounts.

I'm already planning on giving this book another read in the near future, and possibly making my own map of some of the locations of shipwrecks mentioned in the book, just for fun...

Thank you Jack Strange, love your work!!
