Swenson, Jim L.

Comments from the author about writing:  Mine is a faith-based approach without getting into a reader's face.  Most of my writing has been as a newspaper columnist and I've been told I am good at fitting morals into my columns without preaching.  My only book, so far, is about mourning the loss of a wife, trying to move on and getting remarried, from a Christian man's point of view.

  • First-place Iowa state awards for my lifestyle and sports columns/articles
  • Several seconds, third and honorable mentions

Are you willing to do programs for schools, libraries, or other groups? Yes
