IS SPRING-HEELED JACK STILL AROUND? The red-eyed, claw-handed, blue flame breathing high jumper has been sighted over the years and to this day. This book brings the Terror of London to America as he shadows 3 friends fleeing authorities and Jack. A chimney sweep named Bill and his ratcatcher friend, Jeremy, investigate the possibilities of origin for this high-flying villain. A mad scientist, animal, spirit, automaton, mutation, cryptid, alien, devil, circus freak, or just a guy? Come on the investigation in New York City in 1900 to check out some interesting locations: Seance, cager gang basketball game, automaton race, giant maze rat race, class A restaurant, opium drug den, cemetery headstone chess, driverless funeral coach, the opera, circus, or the zoo. All illustrated in this sequel to The Bones of Jack.
I finally had Time+Energy to devote to writing a story that I hope is entertaining and possibly mentally challenging to those who enjoy a good mystery. This is my third book. My first two involved Springheeled Jack in Curse of a Devil and The Bones of Jack. Five+ years of research and thought, waking in the middle of the night to enhance an idea, and unending editing went into the tale. I tried to include as many aspects of NOLA I could, including history, legends, and culture. My perception of the area, personal life experiences, and researched material went into this project. At some points it seemed I would never finish but now, I hope with it all down in text and illustrations, my mind can find some peace and a reader can escape into the world I created for some relaxing enjoyment.
