Old enough to know better and young enough not to care. I'm married with a wife and three daughters.
Since I left school I've supported myself with farming, freelance writing and some consultancy.
The consultancy dried up a bit so having time on my hands I wrote the fantasy novel 'Swords for a Dead Lady'. This is on Amazon as an e-book. It didn't hurt so I did it again, and 'Dead Man Riding East' is also available on Amazon. A third book, 'The Flames of the City,' and a fourth book, 'Learning a Hard Trade', set in the same background, are now available.

The Touchdown Collection

Another day, another SF novel. Rather than a ‘series’ I have in mind a ‘Touchdown Collection.’ Same worlds, same characters, same universe. But the idea is that each book is complete with its own ending and no cliff-hangers. The books will follow on from each other, but ideally not so you’ll have to read them …

Jim answered Andrew Baltasar's question: Hi Jim, I saw your post in the Review group. Do you need a review for your book? And do you review other authors on Amazon as well? Cheers, Andrew I must admit I avoid reviewing authors or doing review swaps because Amazon have, at times, frowned upon the process. Also a lot of readers I've talked to don't like the process either because they feel that the reviews are pretty worthless. Also, in See Full Answer
