The author, James P. Sticka, is a semi-retired cabinet and furniture maker. Well, semi-retired, because woodworkers don’t really retire—they just get old and knotty.  (“Har, har, har!” as the giant would say.)

James lives in Western Montana on the East Shore of Flathead Lake with his wife Robin. His grandchildren have provided him with the inspiration for writing this story. And for that, he is forever grateful.

Send him an email about anything and he’ll get back to you as quickly as he can.
