Jake Tanner is a 31-year-old itinerant consultant, part-time entrepreneur, quasi-journalist and regular man-about-town in post dot com San Francisco. When he decides to add amateur raconteur and dilettante novelist to his impressive list of credentials, he engages himself in a project of capturing the hopes, dreams and social commitments of the new millennium male- moments big and small.anecdotes of life, love and leisure. But when his relationship takes a sudden unexpected turn, he finds that being the narrator for one's own life isn't. Actually, this is Jake and I have to admit that I enjoy writing back cover copy even less than I like reading it, so I think I'll quit while I'm ahead. But I posed in my underwear for the painting on the cover, and I think that demonstrates real commitment to my craft.
