L.A. Meyer Has Passed On
“Meyer has said that the inspiration for Jacky Faber was sparked by the creative mind-wandering he did while matting and framing art at the shop, and a particular bit of music he heard in the summer of 2000…From that point, Meyer said it took him seven months to write the first title, ‘Bloody Jack: Being an Account of the Curious Adventures of Mary ‘Jacky’ Faber, Ship’s Boy’ (Harcourt, 2002). The 12th and final book in the series, ‘Wild Rover No More,’ is due out from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt next month.” (Publishers Weekly)
