Jim Barrett

This is Jim Barrett’s first novel. Over the years, clips and snippets came to him until after retirement, he finally had time to organize and arrange the parts into order. Although he spent his life as an engineer, he always enjoyed reading a wide range of topics from science fiction to non-fiction history.

A few of the characters in The Calling Birds blossomed from people known in his youth with others completely fabricated. They present a broad spectrum of characters whose lives intertwine and overlap in ways that bring out their activities and loves in unique ways.

Now retired in Southern California, he loves spending time with his grandchildren with frequent fishing trips, travel and getting together with old friends and classmates. He is well into his second novel, Confessions of a Teenage Bootlegger, and looks forward to its upcoming publication. Jim is available to address your literary group, book clubs or just a nice cup of coffee to recount old times and experiences. Contact him via email at marinpub10@gmail.com.
