James H. (Jim) Pence is a full-time speaker, singer, chalk artist, writer, and editor,living in North Texas. Jim turned to writing in 1988 as a helpful means of expression after the death of his baby daughter Michelle. Eight years later, Dallas Seminary's Kindred Spirit published A Road Not Chosen, Jim's narrative account of his and his wife's experience.
Jim broke into book publishing in 2001 with How to Do Everything with HTML, a how-to book on Web authoring, written "by a non-techie for non-techies," and published by Osborne/McGraw-Hill. He followed this book the same year with another book for Osborne: Cascading Style Sheets: A Beginner's Guide. Osborne published a second edition of Jim's HTML book, re-titled How to Do Everything with HTML & XHTML, in 2003.
Also a published novelist, Jim is the author of Blind Sight (Tyndale, 2003), a suspense/thriller novel set in the mind-control cults. His most recent novel, The Angel (Kregel, 2006), is set against the backdrop of the euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide movements. The Angel provides a chilling look at what can happen when society no longer values human life. It is also a compelling portrayal of one man's struggle with Lou Gehrig's Disease.
Jim moved into nonfiction with his latest book, "Terror by Night", the true story of the brutal Texas murders that destroyed a family, restored one
man's faith, and shocked a nation. Terror by Night will be released by Tyndale House in October 2009. Tyndale is also going to re-release Jim's novel, Blind Sight with Terror by Night because there is an amazing connection between Blind Sight and Terry's recovery after the murder of his family.
A 1978 graduate of Dallas Bible College and a 2003 graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary, Jim has been in full time ministry since 1978.
