James has been writing poetry and short stories from a very young age, creating fiction for classmates to make them laugh and making artwork on request. He began writing children's books to deal with difficult life situations in order to connect on several planes with his children, and is also working on a memoir of his childhood that he hopes will help others see what it is like for a child when losing a parent and the emotions they experience. All of these difficulties that James writes about come from some struggle within his own family, and his desire is to see these examples help someone that is struggling as well.
Having grown up in the Charlotte NC area, James has been away for a while living in Nashville TN. He is now back home and excited about helping those closest to him within his family and community.
