When Jim Haworth graciously donated the first 4 books to me that he'd written I was delightfully thrilled. Prior to that I'd already been receiving almost daily e-mails with his ongoing wacky/witty tidbits of information. On the very rare occasional times when I didn't receive one I'd become a bit depressed because I had begun to look forward to getting them nearly everyday of the week. He told me that many would just pop into his head at all times during the day and night so I found this to be intriguing.

When Jim Haworth graciously donated the first 4 books to me that he'd written I was delightfully thrilled. Prior to that I'd already been receiving almost daily e-mails with his ongoing wacky/witty tidbits of information. On the very rare occasional times when I didn't receive one I'd become a bit depressed because I had begun to look forward to getting them nearly everyday of the week. He told me that many would just pop into his head at all times during the day and night so I found this to be intriguing. The more that these e-mails came the more they began to 'grow more popular' with me. So many of them always seemed to 'ring home' true representations of many types of situations that we all have happening in our lives on a normal daily basis. Just reading them on an almost daily basis actually added a sort of 'unexplainable lift' to my usual normal routine daily life. It was good when he recognized that by placing the printed material into 'varying other places upon the pages' as well as adding black and white pictures interspersed within the chapter titles it added much more interest to the written material placement positions within the chapter titles. As I would turn each page I'd find my self trying to guess where the printed material will be placed and wondering if a black and white picture would be appearing to reinforce the particular subject matter being given? I hope with his 5th book that this kind of placement of the material on the pages as well as the pictures will continue. I feel that by having made those 2 big adjustments it has added an additional kind of joy and harmony to what he is trying to say to his readers. I feel that so many of his 'wacky/witty' sayings will help others get through whatever kinds of problems they might be facing because they are so 'down to earth true sayings'. All age groups will find inspiration in these sayings and this does include children as well as teenagers because they are just appealing in nature. The reader is able to easily grasp the concepts as they're written in short statements of common sense everyday language that can be rapidly read from page to page.
Autorenporträt
Jim was born near Woodland California in 1941. He spent his early childhood in Northern California, Reno Nevada. When both of his parent had died by the time he was 10 years old, he was adopted by his Aunt and Uncle and moved to Duluth Minnnesota. He moved to the St. Louis area in 1953 and attended a Quaker boarding school (Olney Friends) in the rolling hills of Southeastern Ohio, and then Earlham College in Richmond Indiana. He has worked in the health care field from then till the present in the field of Ultrasound technology. Early in his career, he did Obstetrical, Abdominal, Cardiac, Vascular and Neo-natal Ultrasound. The last twenty years he had concentrated on Cardiac and Vascular Ultrasound in Indianapolis, Indiana. This ecclectic background provided the stimulation for the aphorisms, words of wisdom, poetry and short stories that he has been inspired to write over the past twenty years. His chief aid in this part of his life was the Apple MacIntosh he bought in the first 100 days it was offered in 1984 because he wanted a computer that was user friendly. He first just collected these sayings together and gave them to his children at Christmas time. Because he had only seen his brothers in California a few times since moving East, he decided to organize his sayings and publish a book to share his thoughts and life with them. He published that first book, "Wit and Wisdom from the Wild and Wacky World of Simon Stargazer III" in 2006, followed by "Simon Sez: You're the Expert on You" in 2009. He also sends out a weekly positive thought by e-mail once a week. All of his sayings come from personal experience and generally are inspired by people and events around him in daily life. Overall these sayings might be considered to be small tips for a happy and successful life. Because each book contains sayings (aphorisms) poetry and short stories, there is something for everyone, and one can pick almost any page in the books and find something short and to the point to read.
