Jimmy Irish

Meet Jimmy Irish, a retired Air Force Master Sergeant turned children’s book author who’s swapping flight manuals for bedtime stories! Jimmy lives in Alaska’s snowy wilderness, where temperatures can drop to -40°F. Interestingly, reindeer even outnumber people there. In this chilly setting, he writes family books filled with holiday mischief, belly laughs, and heartwarming lessons.

Why Parents Love Him:

  • Real-Life Magic: His tales, like Jimmy’s Merry Mischief, are inspired by his grandkids’ antics and his own childhood blunders (yes, he did try to catch Santa once!).
  • Teacher Wisdom: A former college instructor, Jimmy sneaks lessons on kindness and curiosity into every fun book to read—kids won’t even realize they’re learning!
  • Alaskan Flair: Think Northern Lights, crackling woodstoves, and a loyal yellow lab named Charlie who “edits” every draft by napping nearby.

Behind the Scenes:
Jimmy’s secret weapons? His wife Janet (his “Chief Chaos Coordinator”) and endless cups of hot cocoa. When he’s not writing, he’s busy plotting new adventures for his blog. For instance, he shares sneak peeks at upcoming sequels. He also posts fun holiday crafts. And sometimes, he even creates a “cool beans” comic strip starring his characters!

Final Pitch:
I write stories to make kids giggle and parents nod, ‘Yep, that’s EXACTLY how holidays go!’ Grab a book, snuggle up, and let’s turn bedtime into a sleigh ride of joy!
