In Arizona, Harry Waddell dreams of catching a monster catfish. In Washington, Gary Short dreams of buying a truck. Elsewhere, Benny Barton dreams about Khrista, and Sonja Poyntner dreams of her inheritance. And midway through a trans-continental flight, Dr. Rob M. Powers dreams of his demise. In any challenge or pursuit, one must keep a level head. These, however, are stories of some who did not.

About the Author
Jim W. Coleman lives in Port Orchard, Washington, with his girlfriend and three daughters. Born in Phoenix, Coleman is a 1982 graduate of Glendale High School. He later attended Arizona State University. He's maintained an art business since 1985 and exhibits original and reprinted art pieces at art shows and community festivals throughout the Pacific Northwest. Additionally, he is very active with the Port Orchard and Bremerton Kiwanis Clubs and with local PTA's in his school district. A "political junkie," Coleman dreams of one day running for a public office.
He has been a yarn-spinner and storyteller since childhood--a side occupation that has been profitable, but also has gotten him into hot water on a number of occasions.
His hobbies include that which is self-evident, but also include gardening, high-end digital photography, music, baking, cooking, home canning, sunbathing, and hanging out at the Manette Saloon in Bremerton, Washington.
Despite the dark nature of his writing and artwork, Coleman is a fun-loving, optimistic guy--usually the life of the part. Go ahead and invite him to one...but don't be surprised if you end up in some bizarre compromising position in his next book.

Level Heads, An Absolute MUST!!,
By Ivory (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Level Heads: Tales of Unnerving Intrigue (Paperback)
Once again Jim has done it! With his short stories straight from the "Twilight Zone," Jim will not only get your attention, but send chills down your spine. Ever had the urge to quit smoking? Read "That Which the Surgeon General Missed." Think your significant other may be poisoning you? Read "The Enabler." Love to fish? You might think twice after reading "Harry Waddell's Pole." The other day I drove past a car dealership & had the urge to buy a new car, but then I remembered "The Haggle" & thought twice about it. This book is another one of Jim's masterpiece's, a must have. If you love intrigue, suspense, & a cold chill running down your spine, do not pass up the opportunity to read this book. If you do, "The Sick Man" may just come to haunt you.......

Excellent Bowker Review,
By Folio (Indiana) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Level Heads: Tales of Unnerving Intrigue (Paperback)
After the great success of his previous three books, Jim W. Coleman brings forth "Level Heads" that has been much sought-after by his fans. The book is bound to offer its readers an ultimate experience of suspense and thrill. Coleman brings together an interesting compilation of short stories that seeks to explore the deepest recesses of the human mind. The thought-provoking stories are bound to keep the reader glued to the edge of the seat because of their surprise endings.
Written in a crisp language and captivating style, the short stories, transport the reader to the enchanting world of possibilities. The pieces are linked by an underlying theme of 'what-if-it-happened?' Each story, which is more like a novella, ends with a stunning climax coupled with a moral. Ranging from being scary to challenging, the stories take the reader on a roller coaster ride of emotional turns and twists. "The Winner" introduces reader to the life of Brock Tipton and his trip to a bar where each guest is required to tell a genuine story that can be verified in order to make use of the facilities offered therein. Tipton's story turns out to be too horrifying to be true, but it is. It is this sense of fascination and awe that marks the entire compilation. "The Enabler" portrays the quiet household of Sonja Poynter who is waiting for a change in her fortunes. But the wait turns out to be a very long one for her. "The Haggle" is a tale of business transaction that turns out to be a ghastly nightmare for Gary Allen Short. "The Long Flight" is about a flight undertaken by Dr. Rob M. Powers and how the trip develops into a journey to a world of fantasy for the passengers in that flight. Coleman's works reveal his skill in being able to paint a picture of amazing clarity. This book is sure to make it to the best-sellers' list.
