About the Author

From the age of two, Jon didn’t think having intelligent conversations with his pets and the many wild animals he encountered was anything unusual - until years later when he would relate his true stories to friends and family. “You should write a book!” was always the response…and so, he did!

True Tails relates Jon’s experiences with creatures big and small, from the tiniest of insects to the largest creatures living on earth today, the majestic whales. Not a “whisperer,” but simply a friend of those who inhabit the animal kingdom, Jon shares his personal stories in the hope of raising public awareness that humans aren’t the only life forms on our planet capable of expressing thoughts and feelings, and that they deserve our admiration and protection. Thus, all of the net proceeds from each copy of True Tails sold will go to animal rights organizations.

Jon is a graduate with honors with two degrees from the University of Miami. Among Jon’s accomplishments is his participation in a ninety five hundred mile Bicentennial relay run through the continental United States and years of missionary work. He currently resides in Ventura, California with his wife and family, pursuing his art and writing. He also works with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Services designing various promotional materials.

Editorial Reviews

“J H Soeder has a special bond with the animal world that most only dream of…”

Martin Lerou

“... this is an impressive parade of anecdotal evidence that inter-species communication can and does take place. The most dramatic story is that of seven whales who breach together as a prearranged demonstration to prove to “the one named Jon” that the conversation he has just imagined with them was in fact real.”

Nowick Gray

"I started reading the book and couldn’t put it down. It’s well written, fun, and emotional at times. He shares the story of a life well lived, and the many lessons he learned from his family and animal friends. Reading True Tails gave me a good understanding of Jon’s mom, dad, sisters, teachers, animals, and most of all of Jon. They are lovely folks.”

Michelle Hollow

"A great read!"

Robert Conrad (actor)

I recommend “True Tails” to those that can suspend their own common sense experiences to open themselves to possibilities that if we were more still in our lives, we might be able to relate more positively with animals and maybe even hear them, too.
