Who is A.P. Atkinson and why is he called 'Jack'? <\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

A.P. Atkinson first arrived on this planet at London, England in the latter part of the twentieth century. It was a time when technology was about to bring the dawn of a new age, and when technology hadn\u2019t yet been used to crush the spirit of humanity. It was the late seventies, a time of bad hair and great<\/span><\/span> movies<\/span><\/span> but it was about to give way to even worse hair and movies that would change the very fabric of reality.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

He was a keen reader and one of those annoying kids who always got their story read out in class by the teacher; it annoyed him more than anyone else. <\/span><\/span><\/p>

He grew up just as Star Wars was released on an unsuspecting public. That began a lifelong interest in all things science-fiction.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

He comes from a family of motorcycle fanatics. When he was sixteen he bought a box of mixed parts and assembled a scooter out of it. That was the beginning of a fascination with trying to kill himself by riding too fast on poorly-maintained machines that he\u2019d cobbled together himself. Surviving this far has been very much against the odds.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

It was some time later that his closest friend challenged him to write a novel and then buggered off to Japan to work as an editor. He slowly discovered alcohol, caffeine and that he has several hilarious mental-health issues \u2013 mostly caffeine and alcohol-related.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

He wrote all he could and was eventually published at the age of nineteen by a niche publisher in America that was later sued by the authors and then vanished one night under mysterious circumstances. <\/span><\/span><\/p>

Finally he decided to leave England and try to kill himself on more interesting foreign roads in far-flung parts of the world. He toured Europe, the Middle East and Asia and eventually became an English teacher specialising in novel-analysis and not specialising in grammar.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

He now writes what he aims to be the smart end of entertaining fiction, stories that have detailed, interesting plots and vibrant, believable characters. <\/span><\/span><\/p>

He also writes non-fiction travel journals that detail his abundant stupidity and lacklustre grasp on reality. His work includes a sci-fi comedy set in the imagination of a sentient brick, a complete drama\/comedy trilogy about secret technology from the 80s, literary science-fiction about android prostitutes, contemporary drama about suicidal motorcyclists, mind-warping horror and numerous short stories that defy description, reason and any kind of point.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
