• It's always a pleasure to read Jim’s books, and his new collection, 'Where the Heart Is and Other Stories', is no exception.
  
  As usual, Jim gives us very strong characters. They're all unique, with true souls, regardless of their gender, age, or background. This ability to bring each character to life shows what a versatile writer he is.
  
  The stories themselves are a great mix, just like his previous work. Some are humorous and full of energy, while others are more thoughtful and nostalgic, making for a truly exciting read.
  
  My favorite story here is probably "The Painting." Its uniqueness truly blew my mind. It offered the main character a wonderful escape from reality, and I felt like I was right there with him.
  
  All the stories are top-notch. Highly recommended!
