A lifelong resident of the State of Indiana, Jim Cangany is proud to call himself a Hoosier. The Magic Coin was a fantasy that involved a king, some bad guys, and, not surprisingly, a magical token. The youngest of eight children, he grew up in a household full of books and people. Thanks to the influence of his older siblings, Jim gravitated toward fantasy and sci-fi when looking for something to read. He wrote his first story at age fourteen. A school project, The Magic Coin was a fantasy that involved a king, some bad guys, and, not surprisingly, a magical token.

These days, Jim writes romance on the sweet end. A believer that the world has enough doom and gloom, he likes stories with a happy ending. Jim is the author of The North Star Trilogy and the short story The Christmas Angel. He lives in Indianapolis with his wonderful wife, two sons, and their princess kitty cat Maria.
