Jim LeMay is originally from Missouri, the land of Mark Twain, Yogi Berra, Walter Cronkite, Edwin Hubble, Robert A. Heinlein and many other worthies so he knows his characters well. He has engaged in many of the vocations and avocations practiced by them - homebrewer, bartender, waiter, land surveyor, civil engineer, land developer - and in some they have not: newspaper man, copyeditor, artist and others best forgotten. Jim now lives with his wife Nyla in the Denver metropolitan area.
