Sycamore, IL, April 11, 2025 --(PR.com)-- Fulton Books author Rick Jaken, a dedicated dog enthusiast with a love for literature, Dungeons & Dragons, and bourbon, has recently completed his first book, “This One Time at the Bar...: True Stories from a Bouncer”: a captivating compilation of tales that traverse the spectrum of human emotion through the eyes of a seasoned bouncer at a local bar. This engaging collection harmonizes humor, poignant reflections, and heartwarming moments, offering readers an insider’s perspective on the vibrant tapestry of characters that frequent the establishment.
