JIM YOAKUM has been a professional writer for over 40 years.

He has contributed articles to numerous magazines, websites and periodicals including Rolling Stone, Popmatters, The Onion, and Goldmine. He was former writing partners with the late Graham Chapman of Monty Python, and is U.S. Curator of the Graham Chapman Archives. Some of his other writings can be seen at thearchivest.wordpress.com, and thearchivest.tumblr.com. He lives in America. Listen to a select list of his books on audible.com "Jim Yoakum's fictional writing is both an observation and depiction of the seemingly banal absurdities of life; most aspects of which have the potential to be ridiculous, monumental, awkward, funny, tragic, fragile, profound, and meaningless all at once. In his novels, his characters seem to know more but feel less, and as catastrophes become assumptions and then certainties, they respond to suffering and crisis with laughter, and a lightness of being. His work captures the beauty and uncanniness of singular, apparently trivial, moments where character is revealed through the humor and tragedy that is in us all, as well as life's grandeur, and the frailty of humanity." - Colophon Quarterly
