J. M. Beal

James M. McCracken's love for writing began when he was a teenager in high school. He began writing stories for his own enjoyment, for his eyes only. Years later, he shared one of his dreams with a co-worker. She urged him to "write it down. It would make a great story." He did and shared it with her. She read it and handed it back saying, "I want more." He returned to his computer and what followed became "SECRETS The Wallace Family." Mr. McCracken is a longtime member of a writers group, Becoming Fiction. He currently resides in Central Oregon.
