Check it Out: Jim Bernheimer (Contest Start)

Jim Bernheimer is a pretty eclectic guy as far as authors go. Not only does he write fantasy, but he also dabbles in suspense, mystery, horror, & humor. He's got a little bit of everything for all literary occasions!

Jim's a fellow Virginian, residing in Chesapeake, Virginia with his wife Kim, and daughters Laura and Marissa. He's got a background in computers & currently works under a government contract as well as having his own business! (So if I ever mess up my computer or blog, I know who to turn to.)

Jim started putting his fiction out back in 2008, starting with the short story Reality Bites!, a story about a vampire trying to get his insurance company to pay up. (Which is available as a free podcast here. I've listened to it- it's pretty good.) Since then Jim's put out several more stories via podcasts & ebook formats.

Jim's a huge fan of sci-fi & fantasy, with several of his favorites/inspirations being Edgar Allan Poe & Tolkien. You can check out his stuff via his website (click on the book image above). If the rest of his stuff is as cool as his short stories are, you're in for a treat.
