Family, business, and horses were the three great passions that fuelled James Franceschini drive for success. In May of 1905 when Vincenzo was fifteen years old, his father allowed the head strong y...

About Jim - James McCreath
http://jamesmccreath.ca/about
When a child is born, it arrives into a predetermined environment. Hopefully that environment contains two parents that are willing to love, nurture and care for their child as long as they possibly can. With any luck, this environment will also contain a cast of engaged characters, such grandparents, aunts, uncles and siblings, all of whom have an interest in the child’s well being. I am extremely grateful that they did. James was an industrious, hard working man that over many years and after several u...

Built by Franceschini during the early 1...

What inspired you to write the book? Where is the book available for purchase? The book’s liner notes state that ‘Renaldo’ is a love story unlike any ever written. Can you explain why? The liner notes also state that your novel is shockingly relevant to the times we live in. How so? Why did you pick the 1978 World Cup as the backdrop for your novel? How much of Renaldo is fact and fiction? Is this why you added the English nobleman and his daughter to the plot? Are you available for interviews? Renaldo a...

Posted July 06 2015. Congratulations to the American ladies soccer team that defeated Japan 5-2 yesterday in Vancouver at the World Cup tournament. The game was shockingly tense despite the score. The U.S. team was full measure for their title going undefeated. A huge high-five goes out to our Canadian national team that played their hearts out and made us proud. So sad to see this tournament end. The strength and stamina of these ladies was exceptional! A Life's Passion. Horses, Horses, Horses!

Why I Fell In Love with the Beautiful Game. Posted June 29 2015. Soccer is a game for wimps and pansies! That’s what I thought about the sport that much of the world calls ‘futbol’ during my early years growing up in Toronto, Canada. Real men played ice hockey or North American style rugby football, the type played in the N.F.L. or Canadian football league. Baseball was a pleasant summer pastime, but seemed slow and lacking passion. Basketball was completely off the radar. The teachers were all male and ...

The Making of “Where Are The Poets? Posted June 28 2015. How do you write a song? Do you start with the melody or the lyrics? The answer is simple, it can be either way. Often songwriting is collaboration between two or more people each bringing a different element. In his early career, Elton John had the melodies in his head for his hit songs, but his partner Bernie Taupin had the lyrics. Shot at Northern Secondary School and various locations around Toronto, the teachers at Northern where completely re...
