About
Jake Barton used to be someone completely different – this is a massive step down. Jake was known by another name for many years . He was younger then, clever, hirsute, handsome, good company, sensible and superbly fit. None of the above apply now.
During the course of an unconventional life, touched by wanderlust, involving much movement around the globe, he has been a labourer in a steel-works, taught English and History, been a work-study engineer, a restaurateur, civil servant, Nightclub bouncer, antique dealer, owned a small French vineyard and also had another job that he’s not supposed to talk about.
To define Jake Barton in one word would be difficult. “Wastrel” comes pretty close.
He writes, sporadically. Very occasionally, his writing meets acceptable standards.
