He hates war, has doubts about the effectiveness of anti-war demonstrations, but believes that non-violent protest should be heard by politicians.

 

His novel – Fighting for Peace – is set in the Vietnam era of US debate and disagreement. Many believe fighting to prevent the spread of communism is necessary. Others see it as a colossal political mistake, an unwinnable war, and a senseless loss of thousands of young US fighting men.

 

He wants you to follow a US Navy pilot’s love for Kate, a beautiful anti-war protestor and the events that lead him to an obsession with ending the war and bringing young Americans home alive.

 

Jim  hopes you will learn something about the history of anti-Vietnam War actions and see his characters come to life as Tom Beckett is beaten by police and labeled a criminal by the FBI. Can he stop a plot for mass murder? Will he avoid prison? Find his way back to Kate?

 

His characters are passionate, driven, some quirky, and others evil.
