Slim Jim

As a boy, Jim Baker was fascinated with guns. Every man wore a sidearm for protection. Jim really was not interested in the protective side, he just wanted to see how fast he could draw his gun and how accurate he could be. He loved the law and planned to join the police force when he came of age. Things changed when his uncle was killed. He swore revenge. See how his gun practice was a factor when he met his uncle's killer.

Slim Jim is my third fictional book, following The Lives of Little Horse and Traveler and Eagle's Nest. I have also authored three nonfiction books, Mother's Six Marines, Then, Now, and Beyond: The Story of My Life, and The Toughest Guy in the Bar, coauthored by my son, Patrick, who was a bar bouncer at the time, and a children's book, A Snail Named Slick, coauthored by my daughter, Aleta. I am ninety-six years of age and enjoying a wonderful retirement at O'Connor Woods in Stockton, California.
