Blind Carbon Copy, born Jacques Hemings, has been on this earth for a very long time — since the beginnings of the French Revolution, to be exact. World traveller, noted blues singer, musician and raconteur extraordinaire, Bcc has been blind since birth and does not read or write in the traditional sense. This has not, however, thwarted his literary pursuits — he has always managed to avail himself of the services of readers (mostly intelligent young women) to whom he credits his inspiration and longevity.
