I enjoy writing, partially because I like it, and hopefully to bring smiles, and sometimes tears, to my readers. Most of my stories center around younger gay males, and I tend to write more from the heart than I do the genitals. I do describe some hot sex scenes, but some chapters are sexless. I'm a Romantic at heart.

Ace’s stories explore the harsh realities of coming of age. They include tragic tales and heartbreaking moments. Yet, if you stay with it you’ll find characters that fight through the darkness and find their way into the light.

If I were sum up my life in four words:

"Why am I here?"

Romance and life's daily experiences can be exciting, passe, rewarding and just a pain in the ass - depending on the situation and time of the day. They have been since Adam did his "apple thing" with Eve. Or was it Steve? Jack Scribe's stories involve contemporary gay males in a variety of situations that test the mettle of the characters in his novels and short stories. "Boy gets boy" is the end result.

The two stories I've authored thus far, WORKING IT OUT and BELOVED, can be classified as "growing up gay" works, I think. The protagonist(s) are outed or come out to family and friends, sometimes moving from questionable support or lack of support for their orientation among significant others into strong commitments which permit them to mentor others. Religious affiliations of the heroes and their real or adoptive families are portrayed as supportive of gays, who often seek formal recognition .

I've been a writer off and on since 2007 where I released my first two stories and after a long hiatus I returned in 2013 and released five more stories before going on a second hiatus in 2015 due to a severe case of burnout and have returned now in 2018 where I've begun my next project and hope to release it some time this year, likely that will be the case if all goes right. I typically write under the soap opera genre which isn't a genre of it's own as more mainstream genre's seem to apply, it best fits under drama but it's open to branching out into other genre's. If you like reading teenage fiction, that is something that I've written very well and intend to continue writing.

Most of my stories are contemporary explorations of gay men finding themselves and coming to terms with their sexuality, often in the face of family issues. Usually written with a relatively light touch, and with some romantic element. I am based in London (UK), and stories have a British setting, often set in the Midlands or North where my own roots are.
