Eli Jungle was born in Los Angeles, California.   He grew up basically alone, with a sister who was too cool for words.  His Father was a brutal, handsome, funny, Irish loser alcoholic and his mother was a quiet woman trying to keep the family together.   Mother liked big band music.  Father liked Wayne Newton.  Enough said.

Anyway, Eli was bounced around from school to school growing up.  He never quite made any friends.  Although there was this one kid who he usta trade 45's with, but that kid up and moved to Hawaii.  He heard later the kid was always getting beat up my Japanese kids. 

Eli tried to join sports teams, but was not quite developed enough to make the "A" squad.  He tried nevertheless.  He seems to have a pretty good game of hoops, racquetball, and tennis now a days.

As a young child, Eli Jungle did the usual things in life such as hunting with his dog, playing with Army men, and climbing trees, but that's not important.  What is important is that you are reading this right now, and you have a chance to experience second hand the inner workings of one of the 21st centuries most underrated writers.  Yes...underrated.  Why.  Because basically, Eli Jungle is not that great a writer.  Sure, he seems to get most of the spelling right thanks to spell checker, and his use of i before e except after c seems to have paid dividends, but do we really think he will ever get the Pulitzer...heck probably not.  

On the left are all the jobs that Eli Jungle held during his life up to this point.  It should be noted that Eli Jungle is now a writer.  He ambition is to get enough cash from writing to eventually start what he is hoping will be his final career - a famous painter.  Famous like Rembrandt, Hopper, Winslow Homer, etc.  You get the idea.

So dammit, enjoy the stories, buy the books so that you support Eli's art ambitions, and sit around the kitchen sharing these tales with the youngin's.   Life is good.
