Jim Burkett


Biography

My vocation is as a Sr. Systems Analyst for a large company in the United States. During my off hours, I spend writing along with being the staff photographer for the magazine 'What's Hot Tampa Bay'.

As a photographer, I have had the priviliage of being invited to capture the Canadian Olympic team during their team trials prior to Beijing and the boat 'Earthrace' during it's world attempt to break the record circumnavigating the globe. This boat was later refitted and renamed 'Aby Gil'. This boat was eventually sunk by a Japanese whaling ship during it's use in the the filming of the series 'Whale Wars'. Many of my photographs have appeared in hundreds of magazines, newspapers and books around the world.

With regards to my writing experience, I wrote a monthly column for the publication 'SouthWinds' which was a sailing magazine. My stories have also appeared in many different publications.

I have been married to my wife Cathy for over 30 years and have two sons and one golden retriever named Maggie.

I am currently working on the sequel to 'Declaration of Surrender' titled 'American Sanction' which will be available in August 2011.

In 1945, the U.S. Congress created a document protecting its own interest against Germany or Japan, leaving its citizens to fend for themselves. The document is lost for 65 years until now when its location is believed found. As the document will give sole ownership of all US properties to whomever finds it, it is a race for DHS to retrieve it first before a foreign country reigns over the US.
