Writing under the influence of rock and roll!
Jim Cherry
I grew up in Chicago in the 60’s, it was a time of cool blue splash-downs and revolution in the air, although, I missed out on all the cool things. I spent my time reading my grandmother’s library of first editions of Twain, Dickens, Conrad, Conan-Doyle, and having backyard adventures. I decided at age 12 I wanted to be a writer. In college I went to school for filmmaking but realized it was just an excuse to write. I’ve lived in Los Angeles for a bit in the 90’s, visited New Orleans, Mexico, France and Germany, usually when I didn’t have the money. I did some time as a rock journalist writing The Doors Examiner. If you want to know more about me, you can find me in-between the lines of my stories.
