Author and IT guy. James lives in Japan with his family. While never really putting down roots after joining the military many, many years ago, Japan is considered his home by virtual of it being the place he has lived the longest. He became hooked on science fiction, fantasy, spy thrillers and alternative history while in the US Navy. Sometimes to the point where his shipboard coffin locker had more books than clothes in it. Currently writing fictional adventure stories in the "When Atlantis Fell" series, he plans to write in many other subject areas in the future.
