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.
