Jim Hartsell
A career working with teenagers on the fringes of society has made me both sensitive to and appreciative of the complexities of character and the struggles, inner and outer, that we all wrestle with in one form or another. My writing emphasizes character development over action. Reading in a wide range of genres and working to develop what little musical talent I possess occupy my time and, I believe, serve as complements to my writing. As a lifelong Southerner, the rhythms and cadence of the Southeastern United States influence both my spoken and written voice.
I am always pleased to hear from my readers and I especially appreciate getting feedback about my books. That includes what you liked and what you didn’t like about the story line, characters and ending. Reviews are helpful to other readers and treasured by authors. After reading my books, I would be grateful if you could write a review of them on Amazon for me.
