“What discipline I have in my writing, I learned courtesy of the pencil of Jim Thomas. His great gift to me was his ability to hone and refine my work with a firm loyalty to my own vision. Jim is the trainer who got me into professional writing shape. I benefit from our work together every time I’m at the keyboard.”
