    About Jim Hartsell

    Like most of us, there are many descriptors that apply to me: husband, father, grandfather, voracious reader, and average hammer dulcimer player are a few of them. I also write, concentrating on Southern fiction and children’s books.
    I have deep roots in East Tennessee; I’ve always lived here, and the farm my sister and I currently own has been in our family for five generations. My immediate family consists of my wife of 43 years, my two children, their spouses, and six grandchildren. My wife and I share our home on House Mountain with a cat and two shelter dogs.
    My professional career was in education, working with teens in a variety of settings. The three decades I spent with teens who have been characterized by society as losers at best and dangerous at worst taught me much about resilience, strength, and bravery, and helped form the concept of the main character in the Boone series.
    I have a beautiful family, all the necessities of life plus a few luxuries, a fine circle of friends, and time to write books, play music, and enjoy the moments as they present themselves one by one. By any measure that matters to me, I am a very wealthy man.
