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

[Keelie Howell · Rating 5 out of 5]

I always knew I was of Welsh lineage due to my last name, but after an ancestry DNA test confirmed I'm over 50% Welsh by blood, I swiftly became the typical white American who makes their European DNA their entire personality. That being said, this book was such a delightful way to get familiar with the lore, history, myths, and a little culture of Wales.

Non-fiction writing is hard for me to pay attention to when it's straight and to the point, and Jack Strange's writing style delivered the information perfectly for my attention span. It read almost like having a conversation with a friend, with humor and quips alongside admissions of not being able to confirm some word-of-mouth stories. The ghost stories in particular were super fun, as about half of them ended with the Welsh women of the time not taking someone's shenanigans and handling the problem themselves. So much in my life makes sense now.

Next time I'm in the mood for a non-fiction read, I'm definitely going to explore the other titles from Jack Strange. Highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking for something fun, yet interesting. I also highly recommend it to the narrator on the Travel Channel who referred to the country of Wales as "Wales, England" one time.
