Jack Eadon began by writing a book in grade school, then a short story. In high school he began a decade in rock music with the band Khazad Doom, writing many of the songs with a moralistic drama theme, something he continues to put into his writing today.

He entered the corporate world with his MBA in 1974, which took him to 1983, when he opened a business in southern California. Now, after having lived in Illinois, Texas, California, Kansas, and Illinois, Jack resides back in southern California with his executive wife and Caspurr the Cat, and writes full-time. He relies on a few close friends and a network of e-mail buddies to provide him a support system. He travels occasionally, doing book talks or attending conventions in the many places he's lived.

Jack became interested in the Internet during the nineties when he corresponded with a young woman, new to this country. Lacey's Day was "a real stretch" for him. Not only was it his first love story, but the cross-cultural twist made it quite challenging. Henry James once said something like, "character defines plot and plot defines character." This is exactly the dynamic behind Ted and Lacey meeting on the Internet and falling hopelessly in love: Their characters are a true derivation of the circumstances in the plot, but the plot unfolds directly as a result of the nature of the characters.
