- About Me:
- Joseph Richard Turner Jr was born September 20, 1958 in Jackson Michigan. He moved from there at an early age to live the remainder of his life in the Deep Southern regions of Mississippi and Western Tennessee with his mother and sister. He is a 1977graduate from South Panola High School, Batesville Mississippi. Mr. Turner entered into the military after graduation to serve his country until the untimely death of his mother the late Minnie Marie Chapman in 1981. After living in Jackson Mississippi for a short period of time Joseph return to the city which he calls home Memphis Tennessee. He attended Shelby State Community College here in Memphis majoring in dietary and nutrition receiving a certificate in food service management in 1991. He worked odd jobs until he enter the security profession in 1994. Mr. Turner always enjoyed writing yet he didn’t take upon the task seriously until 2005.
Using the penname J R Turner II he wanted to write about things that are normally spoken behind close doors. He wanted to give a person that is out there in this world a chance to feel that they too aren’t alone. Sometime what we have to say has a tendency to fall on deaf ears. J R created these stories to give others a sense of closure, hope and inspiration in their lives. His stories have no racial barriers, no economical status, no primary religious beliefs, or culture. He wanted to address key issues that people face when dealing with divorces and the separation from a child.

The Man Who Made You Put Away Your Pen

In 1971, Tomlinson changed the way the world communicated when he invented e-mail.'Mad Scientists,' Building The Future For 50 Years
If you've used a GPS system — or if you happen to be using the Internet to read this — you can thank DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. For 50 years, the smallish, somewhat secretive division of the Pentagon has been mostly off-limits to reporters. Now author Michael Belfiore has profiled the agency in a new book.Television Writer David Lloyd Dies At 75
One of television's most successful comedy writers, David Lloyd, died this week. He was 75. Lloyd wrote for Jack Paar, Johnny Carson and Dick Cavett.
