EIGHTH WONDER exploded upon the literary scene in l994 and became an instant favorite with fans of that notorious, fun-loving, over-sexed 'Big' Bill Jackson. The author's memoirs began appearing in such gay magazines like First Hand and Guys in the early 80s. Overnight, he proved a sensation with readers around the world. Standing at more than six feet six, Mr. Jackson proved to be very big in every way. As a former Mr. Universe, Mr. America, Mr. North Carolina, this ex-Marine left North Carolina for Baghad-on-the-Hudson--New York City--and created an uproar. As he explored the sweaty, steamy private sex clubs, the cruisy gay movie houses, the baths, he also took over a health spa and turned it into 'Big' Bill's Bodyworks! Soon, he had a whole chain of personal gyms where he got to meet--and interact--with his lustful fans. Big Bill's body were always the crucial factor and plot device for all his 50 or more stories. Often described as looking like an oversexed version of Mel Gibson and cowboy legend, Clint Walker, he comes across as almost childlike in his innocence. He has no problem in living for non-stop sex, drinking beer and smoking cigarettes. In his stories, 'Big' Bill has worked as a male stripper, a nude model, a stage actor, a personal trainer, a coach. He has been the lust object of professors, policemen, rock stars, porno actors, college kids, cops and Marines. He seeks hedonistic pleasure and erotic adventures in the back rows of movie theaters and in the green pastures of the South. His one constant companion is cult author Jason Fury. They live just blocks away from each other on Manhattan's tony upper East Side. No wonder he has become a living legend.
