Jim Farris
Jim Farris (full name James Scott Farris, Jr.) (born 7 December 1962) is a science fiction and fantasy author. He has published over twenty books, including a four-book series "The Oerth Cycle." He is also a musical composer of over two hundred works, approximately half of which were composed as the 'soundtrack' for the first e-publication of "The Oerth Cycle", which was originally released as a multimedia HTML e-book.[1] Jim has also done extensive work as a graphic artist, creating over one hundred covers for various authors of fantasy, science fiction and romance. Jim has also worked as a ghostwriter for three major published works.
He lives with his wife in Portales, New Mexico.
Jim was diagnosed with Cholecystitis in December 2001, and underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery in January 2002. Complications of the disease (including peritonitis) slowed his recovery (and subsequent writing output) for a period of three years.[2]
