About the Author

James M. Gilmore Lecturer Emeritus College of Communication Arts & Sciences Michigan State University Jim is a veteran of more than 25 years of experience in the advertising agency business, rising to Vice President/Creative Director and member of the Board of Directors of Leo Burnett in Chicago. At the age of 47, Jim decided to make a major career change. He quit Burnett and moved to Santa Barbara to become a freelance writer. Two years later, he was interviewed by Phil Donahue on NBC’s Today show. Donahue wanted to know why Jim gave up a high paying, highly successful advertising career to become a struggling freelance writer. Jim may have been struggling, but he was having fun. He sold his first mystery novel and published short stores in Alfred Hitchcock and Mike Shane mystery Magazines. He also wrote for Santa Barbara magazine and was one of the founders of Islands magazine. Five Iron Cannons, an article he wrote for Santa Barbara magazine, revealed new archeological evidence in an age-old California controversy: Where in California was the bay Sir Frances Drake named Nova Albion during his round-the-world voyage in 1579? Jim’s evidence indicated Drake’s bay was in Santa Barbara, not San Francisco. The Los Angeles Times ranked his article among California’s top ten news stories that year. As a result, he and marine archaeologist Jack Hunter were commissioned by the State of California to coauthor a fact book on their discoveries. National Geographic provided them with a grant to continue their research. Caught in the middle of a bitter debate he created among Santa Barbara and San Francisco historians and academicians, Jim decided it was time to get back into the less competitive world of advertising. He signed on as the International Creative Director of Japan’s Standard Advertising, and moved his family to Tokyo. In 1987, Jim made another major career change. He joined Michigan State University’s College of Communication Arts and Sciences as Visiting Lecturer, teaching creative courses and mentoring students until he retired in 2006. His current title is Lecturer Emeritus. Jim’s mystery novel, Dead Rite, was published by Contemporary Press, New York, in 2005. His comic novel, bythepeople.gov was published in hard cover and paperback editions in 2008 and by Kindle in 2010. His latest book is The Pulp Pits an anthology of 9 of his published mystery short stories.
