A retired cavalry officer, who earned eight commendations during the Indian Wars in the late nineteen century, Jack Freiburger has retired to his farm to write the great American novel. He had intended to write the Fair to Middling American Novel, but found that title had already been used by the poet Mike Ryan, thus The Great American Novel it must be.
Plagued by poverty due to his small cavalry pension, he has taken up structural engineering and the raising of vegetables and horses at Hickory Knoll Farm. He also freelances as a polo umpire and professional ping-pong scout for the Osaka Balbreakers of the South Japanese League Ping-Pong League. With this modest income, he manages to feed himself, twenty seven horses and several hundred guests a year, all farm visitors.
Deeply religious, his Farm hosts celebrations of Samdain, Belthane, May Day and the other major Celtic holidays. Epona is worshiped along with Bran the Blessed, although due to narrow minded authorities and religious persecution, the cult of the severed head cannot be fully followed at this point in time.
Once his novel, Return to Bray Head has been boosted by Oprah and optioned by Disney, he intends to offer his play Jesus at the IHOP to local producers.
