Born and raised in Santa Monica, Ca. I often work on more than one book at a time. I love to hear from my readers and I am open to suggestions and ideas. My degree is in Kinesiology from UCLA, class of 1980. I love science, sports, arts and music. My life has been humanistic, dynamic and adventurous. I write many articles, letters to editors, papers relating to sports performance along with various types of Novels. I like to write novels that explore social and moral issues in an entertaining way that keeps the reader thinking about their personal circumstances. email me at jcharman@ymail.com For questions, comments or advice. I sometimes will send signed copies if you are a blogger or reviewer.
