Author Biography

As a small child, I heard my grandfather brag about being employed by DuPont for over fifty years. He never missed a day stamping out heels for boots on a press his entire life. He took great pride in this accomplishment. The whole idea scared the crap out of me. At that very impressionable age, I decided that I couldn't, and wouldn't, fall prey to such a mundane existence. Sticking to that early life decision, I've spent the last forty years working at different careers, usually changing every fifteen to thirty months. It sounds crazy, I know, but I've done everything from dipping ice cream, to performing minor surgeries, and have excelled at each and every one of them. These jobs include, but are not limited to teaching elementary school, counseling the criminally insane, operating construction companies, running heavy machines, drafting blueprints & designing homes. I've helped to develop fiber optic cables for communication systems, worked in pediatrics, endocrinology, bariatric and as a general practitioner, etc. You name it, I've done it. Of course, most of these positions required college, which I've spent a large chunk of my life attending. I've also taught myself how to play guitar and sing. This led to composing a few songs. I've had my poetry published and have acted in a few movies like Scarecrow, Dark Harvest, III and The Burning Dead. The book you have in your hands is my first attempt to add "novelist" to my ever-growing list. I hope you have as much enjoyment reading this story as I had in creating it. Thank you so much for your time. Timothy Neal James
