Jim Flaherty He’s 89 and Thinks
This is His Best Decade!
About Jim... A Writer And A Speaker
I know I shouldn’t feel guilty. But here I am, (I’ll be 90 in September 2025), happy, healthy, quite sure I won’t wake up on the wrong side of the grass tomorrow. And I honestly believe every day is a miracle—another opportunity to produce, create, learn, and hopefully do something good for myself and others. On top of that, I have no regrets, no sad memories that didn’t spring from great happiness. Why was I given this gift? I thank my creator every day, and know tomorrow will be superb.

Giving unrehearsed answers to serious questions allows you to grade yourself on how well you know your subject, or the audience you’re reaching. Your turn—question me…
Film & Producers
Hey, you're a Literary Agent, and I'm a writer. Sounds like a match made in heaven. I think we should cut right to the chase. If you take me on as a client, what are the chances of you making gobs of money? Gosh, why are you asking me, I'm only a writer. You're the agent who could make a film or TV production company realize that either of my two existing novels could give birth to a full-length film or a long-running TV series that would attract zillions of people looking for entertainment that's neither scientific nor tragedy based…
