About this author

As a husband and father of 11 children, Jaime Buckley is no stranger to youth or storytelling. With a passion for showing youth their incredible potential, Jaime started telling stories of Wendell P. Dipmier: The awkward young man who became a hero by accident.

In 2005, WANTED:HERO went live online. In 2006, after 12 comics and two graphic novels, resurfacing hand injuries prevented Jaime from making further comics. He watched as the readership declined over time, calling for a comic book he could no longer deliver.

In 2010, Jaime's daughter and wife finally encouraged him to rebuild the dream by returning and committing to the full story in novel form. Both Jaime and Kathi (as editor) worked diligently on the first installment (Prelude to a...more


So I’ve been thinking about this creativity part of my life–and I think I might have some stuff to share.

It took me being a father to learn that everyone in life can be a good example to learn from. From family and friends to the complete stranger, everyone you see, meet or interact with is an example you can use. Now, granted, they might not be the example of the right thing to do…but they can...

The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
This book disturbed me to no end. The reason? Lewis' incredible insight into the life and heart of mankind. Too many times I found myself not only relating, but questioning my own motivations...from the perspective of a demon.

I highly recommend this...more

“The invigorating energy in fresh-cut grass and cool, crisp chlorine filled Wendell’s nostrils as they lounged by the pool in Evan’s back yard. Looking past the back fence the wild grass bowed to the playful persuasion of the warm summer breeze and the corn lilies and columbines bounced their jeweled heads, laughing and teasing butterflies. Even the Cooper’s hawk atop a nearby fence post, content with feasting on a woodpecker knew, it was a perfect day.”
Jaime Buckley, WANTED:HERO Prelude to a Hero

“We will forever be vulnerable to the weaknesses in our own hearts and our selfish desires.”
Jaime Buckley, Hobin Luckyfeller's Fieldguide: Demoni Vankil

“Life has a complex plan that involves you and me.
While we dream, work and organize, life makes its own tweaks—and many times circumstances might not turn out as we hoped.
But life is not the enemy. It’s not against us. Life provides opportunities for growth and strength of character.
Stop fighting against your greatest ally.”
Jaime Buckley

“I'd like to emphasize that when a reader finishes a great novel, he will immediately begin looking for another. If someone loves your book, it increases the chance that he or she will look at mine. So there is no competition between writers. Another writer's success helps build a larger readership for all of us.”

“Nothing is truly free. Every gift has a price, paid for by someone in coin, favors, expectations or goods.
Things get a little sticky when Life shows up wanting to collect on something you thought was free.
Always ask the price.”
Jaime Buckley, WANTED:HERO Prelude to a Hero

“There comes a moment in every life when the Universe presents you with an opportunity to rise to your potential. An open door that only requires the heart to walk through, seize it and hang on.
The choice is never simple. It’s never easy. It’s not supposed to be. But those who travel this path have always looked back and realized
that the test was always about the heart. ...The rest is just practice.”
