“This is my 13th book with Outskirts Press, and I have found them to be accommodating and very helpful with all my needs. Thanks to them for a job well done.”
Jim is the youngest of eleven children and grew up on a farm near the small rural town of Metamora, Indiana. His parents started their life together just before the Great Depression, so their values and principles reflected those difficult times. Their children were raised under old-school discipline, much different than today’s standards. They were raised on hard work, but they were clever and innovative enough to find time for hard play as well. They adopted many of their parents’ values and were served well by them. That same family farm where they were raised still resides in the family over a hundred years after the grandparents settled there. Jim’s love for the land led to him owning part of that farm for 51 years and still counting. He also owned much of the valley surrounding it for much of his life. Growing up and living with nature in that valley has provided the backdrop and powerful inspiration for much of his writing.
