[00:00:44] Stephen: Jim, I want to welcome you to discovered wordsmiths today. How are you doing? How's your weather out there?

[00:00:51] Jim: We are cold and snowy. And when I got up this morning, I got up about three and it was like, oh, 34 degrees. And when I looked out [00:01:00] at my phone right now, it's 26 degrees and we're getting snow. And my golden even came running back in saying, oh,

[00:01:11] Stephen: Tell everybody a little bit about where you're at. So they know what we're talking about. It's mid April, as we're talking

[00:01:17] Jim: about, I am in star, Idaho. I have 15 miles Northwest of boy. We were in, in treasure valley in ADA county. And if you're a Republican, you'll love it here. It's a stronghold. If you're a Democrat, you'll probably hate it here because it's a Republican stronghold, but it doesn't matter to me.

[00:01:36] Stephen: Before we talk about your book. Tell us a little bit about yourself. Some of the things you like to do, and a little bit about gym.

[00:01:43] Jim: I am. I'm a product of an air force family. I grew up in Delmore, California. My father was an instructor at the air force academy. He also was a fighter pilot created during world war II and not world war II and the Korean war Ana Nam patrol [00:02:00] bomber pilot in world war II.

We traveled around a little bit, spent four years in the Philippines, but we always came back to Del Mar. That was our home. And I was in the army for 10 years. I was the grunt for two and a half years of Vietnam. I was a teller copter pilot for years, that was rifted, which is reduction in force and got out in 1977 and went to work for my dad after he purchased a paint company.

But I always had this musicianship in and I became a business. Part-time cause you never give a day job. Like a writer never go. So I had abandoned Tacoma, Washington for years called sundown and, um, we traveled hither and Yon up and down the coast and did all kinds of shows. And we were acoustic vocal group, but for years and years, and I wrote most of the music for the band for the long time, I was pretty prolific song.

But I always had this character runs to the back of my head and I thought everybody wants to read the same [00:03:00] grade. And I just had a brain fart.
