The Nest

About the Book

The author did happen upon some robins that were in similar circumstances but two were dead already and one was so weak that I could not save it. I cleared the debris off the floor of the forest until I reached red earth, then I got a stick, I made a shallow grave and put the baby robins in it. I have wondered about those robins and how they fit in nature. Was it chance or grand design witch made me go down this particular path?

About the Author

John Edgar James Puddy was born at the Sudbury General Hospital on April 8, 1950. He had a normal childhood in the town of Lively. He dabbled in the music business with some success. Jim got a job in geology at INCO and stayed there seven years. While at the job, Jim married Jan N. He built a house with the help of his brother-in-law Charles N. He left geology and transferred to a job at Process Technology where he was instrumental in developing the Superstack S02 monitoring system. He resigned from INCO in 1982 to head up Northern Micro Computer Company, a Victor dealership, which subsequently went bankrupt. The children included Arin, Ryan, and Chad. While working as a foreman in Dalron’s Commercial, he suffered a head injury and was comatose for three and a half months. This happened on August 15, 1989. Jim got separated from his wife in December 1992, but they continue to have a relationship of mutual trust. Jim is permanently in a wheelchair, but he is not done—as his first children’s book bears witness.
