Jimmy Irish is a retired Air Force hero and grandpa who writes family books inspired by real holiday chaos. With his wife Janet (his first editor) and lab Charlie curled up nearby, he crafts children’s story books filled with Santa-sized mischief, life lessons, and the magic of Christmas.
I write stories to make kids giggle and parents nod, ‘Yep, that’s EXACTLY how holidays go!’ Grab a book, snuggle up, and let’s turn bedtime into a sleigh ride of joy!
Join the Grandkids for a heartwarming holiday adventure. When a curious mishap occurs under the Christmas tree, Grandpa Jim shares a touching story about his childhood. Jimmy's well-intentioned act on New Year's morning leads to laughter, love, and lessons about family and tradition.
As the kids learn about the true spirit of Christmas, they discover that sometimes the best gifts come from unexpected places. A delightful holiday read that will warm your heart and become a part of your own Christmas traditions.
Little Brian’s dad was in the U.S. Air Force, so moving from one place to another was simply part of life. For Brian, packing up and starting fresh somewhere new felt as normal as waking up in the morning.
He was born at Andrews Air Force Base in Washington, D.C.—often called The President’s Base—because it’s where the president’s airplane, Air Force One, is kept. Brian’s dad worked with the First Helicopter Squadron, making sure everything ran smoothly so that important missions could take off without a hitch.
Even though Brian’s family moved often, he never felt alone. As the youngest in his Irish-American family, Brian was surrounded by love and care. His brothers and relatives kept a watchful eye on him, and his parents made sure he always felt safe and important.
From the author:
This story is inspired by real events, with a sprinkle of imagination added in. Join little Brian as he sets out on adventures, traveling from base to base with his family, learning, laughing, and growing along the way. Enjoy the journey!
