"Paint it Jack" is the new novel by Whitby author John Ogden. It tells the story of Will - a lad from the North East of England - who, tired of his dead-end job joins the army where he goes to fight in the War on Terror. He becomes a man able to save and take lives until one day his world falls apart. Broken and despairing he meets Jack, another lost soul, in the shadows of Old Portsmouth. Jack, a Scottish painter and once England's most wanted man, also fought for freedom but his fight was many years ago. As the night passes they tell each other their stories: Jack's tale of his role in the American War of Independence, and how he almost single-handedly brought it to an early end; Will's of fighting for freedom in a world which soon forgets the fallen and fractured.
The historical fiction novel Paint it Jack is set in Scotland, England, the USA and France of the late 18th century, and Portsmouth, Afghanistan and Durham of the early 21st century; it is a story of hopes, heroes, fear, loss and redemption.
