Jim Coogan

Jim Coogan was raised on Cape Cod in the town of Brewster. Throughout elementary school and high school he lived in the Joseph C. Lincoln birthplace home on Main Street. Perhaps it was this connection to one of Cape Cod's most prolific novelists that sparked Jim to turn to writing about the Cape after almost three decades as a high school teacher. Since his retirement he has written or co-written 11 books--five of them for children. Jim is a former columnist for the Cape Cod Times daily newspaper and his articles about the Cape have appeared in numerous area publications. A frequent lecturer on Cape related topics, He and his wife Beth live in Sandwich in a house built in the 1840's for a worker at the Boston and Sandwich Glass Company.

In 1999 Jim partnered with Dennis author Jack Sheedy to create Harvest Home Books. The company specializes on Books about Cape Cod. Active titles can be reviewed at our website, www.harvesthomebooks.info There is a direct link from our website to order e-books from Amazon.com
