Jack McDermott

I was born in Schenectady New York, and with my wife Annie Adams, I have been fortunate to have explored the world. We have lived in numerous places, including New York City; San Francisco; Marin County California; Coral Gables/ Coconut Grove Miami/ Florida; Phoenix Az. and Falmouth on Cape Cod.

​

My work experiences range from cleaning telephone booths in the Tenderloin District of San Francisco, to Senior Vice President of Sales for the prestigious company, Herman Miller Inc.

​

I am grateful that Annie and I have raised two amazing people: Our daughter Ashley , born in Fairfax Ca. and our son Dade, who was born in Miami, Dade County Fla. As a friend once remarked (about Dade's name,) "Thank heavens he wasn't born in Broward County"..

And I can't forget to mention my favorite people in the world, granddaughters Elle and Charley ( Charlotte).

​

Shrinking is my second novel and first to be published. I've delayed my debut novel, DEATH IS FOR THE LIVING, which Peerage Press will be publishing sometime in the late Spring of 2017. A third suspense/mystery novel, based on the immigration crisis, is in the works.

I hope you will find Shrinking an interesting and thought provoking read. Thanks for taking the time to visit my website.
