A West Coast Canada boy through and through, I have been writing down the whirlwinds in my mind since five years old, when I wrote Detective Jim and the Dinosaur Bones. Seamus & Tessa is my first novel. Writing for children is an adventure unto itself, because they are less forgiving than their grown-up counterparts, but willing to accept more along the way. They are the readers of the future, so anything I can do to keep them turning pages is a good thing. I am the proud father of two amazing boys, and the lucky husband to my darling wife. It would be my wildest dream to write for my supper. My second book, Hemingway Man, is currently being submitted to a publisher in Montreal. Here's hoping Seamus & Tessa can kick this whole thing off. Feedback always welcome! Drop me a line at [email protected]! Cheers friends, Jim Maher
