Welcome to Bookmaker Jake's Storybank Account

My name is Jake Wasson. I spent the last ten years or so writing a novel I called, The Living City. Every homemade, salvaged trash covered book in the picture above is a copy of that novel. My girlfriend (and outstanding organic farmer) Emily Cooper wrote a blurb for The Living City. It goes like this click here.

I love The Living City. Even if I never sell a single book, or woo a throng of doe-eyed readers, I will have The Living City. It gives me something good to think about while I'm "at work." Not only that, I'm so hooked on The Living City I'm doing what I can (as a responsible writer of fiction) to make my dream come true...

You see: If I lived in The Living City, the "stock character" I'd develop to pay my bills and put food on the table would be called "Bookmaker Jake," and my bank would be called "The Storybank Exchange" where I'd mint and deposit my "homemade currency" in my "storybank account," and Emily and I would live happily ever after as a "indivisible theme of Homemaking Heroes."

And yes, I know all that stuff about "storybank accounts" and "homemade currency" may sound weird now...but I guarantee, when you read The Living City, it will make a lot more sense in The End.

With that said, if you're hungry for something new, then I suggest that you read The Storybank Exchange Explained in Brief and The Blurb first. Otherwise, feel free to browse my ever-expanding inventory of books and read...
