Autorenporträt
After meeting the devil herself at a lonely crossroads not far outside of Swift Current, Saskatchewan, Jim Jackson got an exclusive interview with the Princess of Darkness and a short-lived staff position as her PR writer. From that gig, he came away with a supernatural ability to tell a tale, putting him up there with liars like Herodotus, the guy who sold me all that land in Florida and Donald Trump. But he's modest about his talent. "What's this interview for?" he confided to me, taking a long swig of Bordeaux. "How did you get this number?" Powerful words. An author, public speaking instructor, wine lover and amateur blues musician, Jim can be found on the lonely, sepia-hued plains of Southern Alberta, or traveling the country, notebook, corkscrew and mouth harp in hand, looking for really good stories. What's yours? Sit down. Grab a glass. Tell your story.
