                        Jim & Wilma Laughter                                

     Jim Laughter served in the United States Air Force for 20-years with tours of duty in Texas, the Philippines, Japan, Louisiana, and England. He retired as a Master Sergeant in 1991. Jim’s education includes the Los Angeles Community College, the Community College of the Air Force, the Air Force Senior Non-Commissioned Officers Academy, and finally the University of Maryland. Originally from the rural farming community of Kellyville, Oklahoma, Jim and his wife of 40-years, Wilma, live just south of Tulsa, Oklahoma near their three sons, Sam, Ben, and Jon (their wives too) and their four grandchildren, Abby, Daniel, Robbie & Lydia.

    Jim Laughter is co-creator of Galactic Axia, a fictional commonwealth of planets. Along with his long-time friend Victor J. Bretthauer of Port Angeles, Washington, Jim is co-author of the Galactic Axia series of science fiction adventure books. Their titles include Escape to Destiny, The Horicon Experience, Space Trader, and Ghost in the Dark. They are planning to release three books a year until the entire 20-book series is completed. You may preview the Galactic Axia series at www.galacticaxia.com. 

    Jim is a registered public speaker with the Oklahoma Library Association, so when he is not writing, he is usually speaking at junior high and high schools or libraries, or attending one of several writers conventions and book fairs each year. He is a member of the Tulsa NightWriters, a writing organization that has been helping writers get published for over 55-years. Along with the NightWriters, he is a member of the Oklahoma Writers Federation Inc.

    In 1982, Jim founded Missions Hotline, a non-profit organization dedicated to funding the education of national students in foreign missionary seminaries around the world. Since its foundation, Missions Hotline has funded the education of over twenty-thousand national students, built, purchased, or remodeled several training centers, and built church buildings in Guatemala, the Philippines, Scotland,  Nigeria, India, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, and other foreign countries.

    When time permits, Jim enjoys fishing and playing tournament poker. He also enjoys traveling with his wife, seeing the wonders of America and experiencing the many flavors of life that only this great country can offer.
