After leaving the Patrol, he worked for several years as a small-town newspaper reporter, editor, publisher, and freelance contributor to magazines. Jim currently publishes a blog titled “According to Sam and Jim,” which can be found at accordingtosamandjim.blogspot.com. The Wine Red Road is Jim’s second novel. He previously published The Red Jacket.
Because Jim barely got to know his real father and spent his childhood with a stepfather, his fiction is wrapped intimately around the dynamics of father- or stepfather-and-son relationships. A stepfather himself, he knows the trials, pitfalls, and triumphs of parenting a son.
Since Jim enjoys fiction, he likes to describe himself as tall, dark, and handsome; blue-eyed, part Italian, a lot of fun, hopelessly romantic, independent, an outdoor enthusiast, loyal and kind—better than a $20 bottle of wine. Jim likes good coffee and stimulating conversation, lots of pasta, crisp fall days, cozy bed-and-breakfast inns, football, and baseball. Jim looks for the funny or ironic side of things.
He lives in the Pacific Northwest with his wife and two-year-old Shih Tzu dog.view less
