- Jack worked as a deer culler, possum trapper, fisherman, primary school teacher, editor of the School Journal, and lecturer in English at the Wellington Teachers’ College, before becoming a full-time writer — ‘the lowliest paid of them all,’ he admits, ‘short of being a dunny-cleaner for galley-slaves on the bottom deck of an ancient Roman quinquereme’. He lives in Wellington.
