Major Publications

• Travel Articles: Jim's articles have appeared in magazines ranging from Country Extra to Japan's Exploring the Heart of Britain, with the majority being published by British Heritage.This bi-monthly travel magazine has commissioned 32 photo/text packages and five columns from me since 1998. They've asked Jim to write on a wide variety of topics, with the typical article exploring a specific travel destination through its links with history and literature.
• Travel Guides: Countryman Press, the distinguished travel imprint of publisher WW Norton, has contracted with Jim to write and photograph two titles of their popular Explorer's Guide series. Countryman Press appreciates Jim's ability to weave themes through an entry-based guidebook, to perform focused research that allows the books to go beyond the ordinary, and to involve readers with a good sense of the places they are going to visit.
