About the Author:

Jack Finnegan has lived in, under and around New York City for ten years, just long enough to realize he doesn t know half as much as he thinks he does, about the city or anything else. After years of moderate work in theatre (and, truth be told, bartending), he has directed more energy toward writing, and is currently at work on his second novel (the first is a rare print which can be found exclusively in his living room). His personal recommendation is that you avoid basement apartments.
