Jack Caldwell

Jack Caldwell born and raised the bayous of Louisiana, is an author, amateur historian, professional economic developer, playwright, and like many Cajuns, a darn good cook. His nickname — The Cajun Cheesehead — came from his devotion to his two favorite NFL teams: the New Orleans Saints and the Green Bay Packers.

Always a history buff, Jack found and fell in love with Jane Austen in his twenties, struck by her innate understanding of the human condition.

When not writing or traveling with his wife, Barbara, Jack attempts to play golf. A devout convert to Roman Catholicism, Jack is married with three grown sons.

Jack's blog postings — The Cajun Cheesehead Chronicles — appear regularly at Austen Variations.
