Famously humble, Jim is always careful to never be confused with his more famous, though not-as-attractive big brother, Dave. Jim has spent his adult years building a career as a marketing guru and is now focusing his efforts on building a writing career. Jim is the distributor of the Daily Kick, the administrator for Farland's Writer's Forums, and the mastermind behind the Authors' Advisory Conference Calls.

In fourth grade, Mike's teacher caught him writing in class and forced his first public performance of an original story. The response inspired him to continue. He wrote fanfic for years, then returned to original works before taking a post-college hiatus.





In 2008, he took a detour and found himself one of two attendees at a signing by David Farland and Brandon Sanderson. He kept in touch with both, attended several of Dave's workshops, a few of Brandon's signings, and was recently tapped by Dave to help host the Authors' Advisory calls. Needless to say, he has a renewed desire to become a published author.
