Jack GannonJack Gannon began his literary career with high school best friend Cyndi Williams-Barnier after they were both retired from their respective careers, writing the stories they talked about way back in high school. Together they have written nine books both self-published and by a publisher. YBR Publishing was born when Jack wrote and published his first solo book, I WALKED IN SANTA'S BOOTS, a coffee table-sized autobiography about his quarter-century as Santa Claus for Beaufort, SC. SANTA was entered into the Beaufort County Library Historic District Collection as an important book reflecting the history of Beaufort, SC. His decades in print media gave him the experience to put together that first book in a unique and attractive scrap-book style, and now serves as the Production Manager for YBR Publishing. Jack works one-on-one with each author to create a distinctive visual signature in the book from cover to cover, a trademark style individual to each author with YBR Publishing. In addition, Jack is YBR Publishing's webmaster. Jack also serves on the Liturgy Committee for St. Peter's Catholic Church in Beaufort as its chairman and the Proclaimer Ministry chair, plus scheduling all the laity for the regular weekend and special Masses. He is retired from The Beaufort Gazette & The Island Packet after 24 years in management plus another ten years prior as a motor route delivery carrier and intern reporter. Jack lives in Beaufort, SC, with his wife Mendy; Tasia, a 13-year-old Pomeranian; and Mister Earl Grey, a 5-year-old Russian Blue who is a lot of cat! Read More Read Less
