Welcome! My name’s Jim, and I write books. And also short stories. Plus a fairly regular blog. Not to mention the occasional nonfiction article. And once I wrote and sold a small bumper sticker. But these days, it’s mostly books.

I made my first professional fiction sale in 1998 with “Blade of the Bunny,” an award-winning story which appeared in Writers of the Future XV.  Since then, my short fiction has appeared in places like Realms of Fantasy, Sword & Sorceress, and Turn the Other Chick.  I’ve written nine books for DAW (so far), including Libriomancer, The Stepsister Scheme and the humorous Goblin Quest series.
