Jack Henry lives over a bar in Toad Suck somewhere off Route 25 in Southeastern California. When not writing or propositioning hookers on the corner near Big Earl's Fix 'Em Up, Jack works as a rodeo clown for a Mexican Circus. Recent work can be found in the bottom of a trash dumpster behind a Chinese Restaurant. There's a rumor that he also runs a press and edits a magazine but no one is willing to confirm it.
