James Stitt

James Stitt grew up on the Connecticut coast, and has lived in six different states on the right, left and middle of the U.S. Today, he and his family reside in Minnesota. His educational background is in Physics and Biology, but with minor specializations in History and Archaology.

His works seek to explore the intuitive and unconscious knowledge of the ancients, who for millennia, understood life in the context of the celestial movements, the seasons, the cycles of birth, death and rebirth. Their myths, however crude modern humans view them as, sought to perpetuate deeper, experiential knowledge for future generations. Somehow, in the transliterated names, the adoption, repurposing and redaction of time, we have lost that which sustained the people of the earth for thousands of years. James hopes to reintroduce these myths and their collective relationships across cultures to a broader audience - within the context of engaging, approachable fiction.

He is also the author of several peer reviewed journal articles in atmospheric science and remote sensing. James rails against nature itself to keep his 1968 Land Rover free of rust, desperately misses the ocean, blogs on Wordpress and can be found @stittwords.
