A graduate of Shasta College, Reed College and Humboldt State University, James A. Freeman is a transplanted Shasta County, Californian, who, for thirty years, has taught Language & Literature at Bucks County Community College in Newtown, PA. Extensively academically published in composition theory and research and in critical thinking, he has attended Two Year College Association conferences, often presenting, since 1986. Also a creative writer, he is the author of eighteen published books. Prof. Freeman’s own favorite fiction titles are IrishWake: In Loving Memory of Us All (amazon.com, bn.com and googlebooks.com), Ishi’s Journey From the Center to the Edge of the World (Naturegraph), Never the Same River Twice (with Phyllis Agins- -Charles B. McFadden Co.), and Liars’ Tales of True Love (bn.com, amazon.com). Proud of his daughter, an avid horsewoman currently a senior at Penn State University, Jim lives in Langhorne, PA with his wonderful new family, travelling as often as he can to see his parents, and his three terrific siblings, in their beloved northern California mountain-scapes and river-scapes. Jim would like to note, however, that the mid-Atlantic is his home and that he appreciates both American coasts and the heartland in between.
