About the Author

About the Author When not swilling frequent cups of coffee or mowing his way through the Pike Place Market's food stalls, Seattle–based writer Jim Gullo travels the world on assignment for magazines that include Islands, Diversion, and the Alaska Airlines Magazine. He is also the author of Just Let Me Play, the autobiography of golfer Charlie Sifford, and a three–act comedy entitled Held Over in Pottstown. You can find him on various playgrounds hoisting jump shots or challenging all comers to games of two–on–two with his 12–year–old son, Mike.
