Jim has written about many things during a long career as a book and magazine writer. For magazine articles and for life in general, he has scuba dived with sharks in Tahiti (very fun, kind of scary, and that's just from the sharks' point of view); picked grapes for the wine harvests in Burgundy, France and Switzerland (yodel-ay-ee-who); lived in New York City, Seattle, Los Angeles and Hawaii (eh, howzit, bro?); golfed in Scotland while pretending to be a P.G. Wodehouse character ("Nae the mashie niblick, lad"); hung out and had dinners with sumo wrestlers in Tokyo ("Please pass the rice...oh, never mind"); interviewed movie stars on movie sets; and eaten at the finest pastry shops in Paris ("Encore des croissants, s'il vous plait!"). Among many other things. His books include a memoir about teaching baseball to his son, the as-told-to autobiography of the first African-American pro golfer, a novel about love and loss, a couple of guidebooks to Seattle and Portland, readers for middle-school students about Hillary Clinton and the antebellum South, and now "The Comedy Keeper," a loving tribute to the Marx Brothers and the power of humor, written for younger readers. When not writing, Jim can usually be found baking delicious pastries, which he then eats if his sons don't get to them first. Contact him about anything (and I mean ANYTHING) at jim (at) jim-gullo (dot) com. His advice to readers is simple: Have fun, laugh a lot, and better make that six hard-boiled eggs.ver menos
