Jackie is also the author of 4 books, the latest being The Bookbinder. It's a book of short tales, experiences and observations of daily life. He came up with the title after one of his readers described his books as "comfort books that are stories that bind us together".
This book is truly full of "comfort food". It is not filled with exciting adventures and wild travels, but of everyday life. Everyday life with the humor and love that can be found in all sorts of happenings and activities.
The stories range from meeting up with high school loves at reunions, to Disney conventions.... to his mom falling off of a porch. These are all simple stories that make that are heart filled and gently humorous.
If you feel like a soothing, gentle read that makes you relax just a little more, give the Bookbinder a read.
