James C. Tanner

James C. Tanner writes for people in the middle of something hard — whether that's a broken heart, a broken family, a broken sense of self, or even trying to exist inside of a war zone.

With more than 45 years of experience as a writer, educator, humanitarian, and former youth ministry leader, James has spent his life walking alongside people navigating some of their most painful seasons. His background includes government contract instruction in small business skills, church planting, humanitarian work helping women and children escape from hot zones inside war-torn countries, and years of professional investigative work specializing in cult- and occult-related scenarios. He brings all of that lived experience to every page he writes.

James writes with what he calls clinical insight and brotherly warmth — the ability to speak hard truths with gentleness, to meet people exactly where they are without judgment, and to point them toward healing without pretending the road is easy.

The author of more than 60 published titles spanning relationships, emotional healing, personal development, resilience, and family guidance, James is the founder of Calico GOLD Publishing — built on the belief that broken lives can find a way back, because there IS joy and healing in life's sunrise.

James C. Tanner currently lives and writes in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada.
