Jim is a native Pittsburgher who's travels have taken him to Detroit, Phoenix and Dallas where he currently lives with his editor wife Janice. Jim is an accomplished musician and has two gifted daughters, both living in Texas. His books weave an interesting narrative through historical events that draws the reader into a realistic perspective of a purely fictional story line. Markov, a character central to "Spawn" and "Shadows in the Mirror", will continue to appear in future books.
