Jim turner historian, Author, and public speaker
Welcome!
I retired from the Arizona Historical Society and have been an author editor for Rio Nuevo Publishers since 2009. Now I give talks for senior living communities, clubs, and conventions, combining interesting facts from Arizona's unique history with humorous anecdotes.
Click here for a list of 50 Arizona history topics, I give talks about, many with PowerPoint images.

Qualifying groups pay only $100 for my talks anywhere in the state through the Arizona Humanities. Click the title above for more info.

I've had the privilege of co-editing, co-writing, and authoring more than a dozen books since going to work for Rio Nuevo Publisher, including The Mighty Colorado River from the Glaciers to the Gulf, and our newest, Crater Lake and Beyond: Land of Fire and Ice, available in April, 2017. Both are chock full of spectacular photographs and my favorite "gee whiz" facts and stories.
I'm working on two more books, but I'm not allowed to say what they are about. Such is life in the publishing business, all hush-hush. Watch here for more information!
