Outspoken, opinionated, impatient, hard headed, ugly (according to his roommate), cheap (according to his cat), humorous (according to himself), James Timbers was born and raised in San Jose, California, where he still resides to this day. After over twenty-five years in the electronics industry, he resumed his writing career. Jim enjoys, but is not good at, reading, writing, golfing, water skiing, snow skiing, boating, fishing, camping, cooking, arm wrestling, women, and of course spending quality time with his family, friends, and cat named aFuzz, a who really hates him but tolerates him for the free food. The cat figures itas a fair price to pay in order to not have to get up off her lazy, cat butt and chase mice. Amber Timbers is a collection of poems and lyrics he has written over many years.
