It's probably obvious from the title that this book is about me. Actually it is more about how and why I write. How I got started writing and why I write the way I do.

Now, you might want to ask: "Well, why would you write a book about what you write?" That's a fair question and it's fairly easy to answer:

I started writing long before I became a locksmith. I never earned a whole lot of money doing it, but I had this urge to put things down on paper. Sometimes it was pretty good and sometimes even I didn't like what I had written. And all too frequently, the various editors that I submitted my work to didn't care for it either!

But back to the question: I've written this book to help you understand a little about who and what I am. A book that will give you a little insight into why I write what I write. Besides, I think some of what helped me develop my philosophies and outlook on life, in general, will give you a laugh or two.

So, whether you read this and giggle in your grits—AND YOU WILL. Or, read it and howl in rage—AND YOU MIGHT. I figure I did good ‘cause I made you think and come to a conclusion. Either way, you will find a lot of entertainment from this INSTANTLY DOWNLOADABLE book for FREE! No gimmicks, read on.

Pure Jake: The Book also contains non-locksmith articles that I have written for various magazines and newspapers. I’ve included those articles mainly to show my readers that I have written outside of our industry and can write about more than locks, door repair and door hardware!

This book was originally published in a hard bound copy by Lounging Lizard Publications and retailed for $45.00. This unabridged, updated AND INSTANTLY DOWNLOADABLE version is yours with my compliments!

One thing you’ll know for certain when you buy this book — JUST LIKE ALL MY OTHER BOOKS — it is all …Pure Jake!
