- Bio
- Jamie Beckett, is a resident of central Florida, the United States, Earth.
Jamie's first novel, "Burritos and Gasoline," sold beyond the author's wildest dreams, earning enough cold, hard cash to take the entire family out to Denny's - twice!
His second work of fiction, a novella called "To the Lifeboats," (available exclusively in eBook format) was released in September 2012.
Jamie is an author, a city commissioner, and the humble recipient of the Aircraft Owners and Pilot's Association's 2012 Let's Go Flying award.
An avid motorcyclist, dedicated airplane nut, and part-time guitar collector, Jamie is putting serious thought into developing some sort of career plan, as soon as more interesting things become somewhat less interesting.

One of my many professional guises is that of a flight instructor.
It's true. I have actually been paid to teach random strangers how
to fly an airplane. Together we have practiced taking off,
navigating, maneuvering, and landing. Most of my students left the
airport with a smile, too. The process… Read full post »
