James Glenn Thompson

James Glenn Thompson writes action-adventure thrillers drawn from a lifetime of travel, experience, and curiosity about the world. His stories take readers into dangerous situations, unfamiliar places, and the often-unpredictable decisions people make when circumstances turn against them.

Thompson’s experiences have taken him to more than forty-five countries, including four years at sea as a deck officer in the U.S. Merchant Marine. His life and career have also taken him through business, technology, entrepreneurship, photography, and a wide range of experiences that continue to inspire his fiction. Rather than simply writing about what he knows, Thompson draws on what he has seen, learned, and experienced to create stories that feel grounded in the real world.

His novels combine action, adventure, suspense, and mystery, often incorporating historical events, organizations, and cultures into the story. His interest in history—from the ancient world to events within living memory—adds another dimension to his adventures and gives his characters and settings a foundation beyond the immediate action.

Thompson holds a BS degree from the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy and an MBA in Finance from the University of Illinois. He is retired from his business career and now devotes much of his time to writing, photography, and family.

He lives in Central Texas with his wife, Catherine, and their Golden Retriever, Charlie. He is the proud father of four and grandfather of six.
