Who's this guy?
My Story
The short, concise answer is that I'm a mid-forties, hard-working guy named James who's been all over the place, done all sorts of things, has an overactive brain and big imagination, and high intelligence who's now trying his hand at being an author. It's a lifelong dream of mine, so I'm pursuing it.
To address a few questions I've already gotten, here we go.
1) Are you educated? Rude. Yes. I have a Bachelor's degree.
2) Have you written anything before? Yes. Lots of things, but nothing I could publish or show publicly without lawsuits and regrets. Maybe one day I'll release some of my poetry. Maybe.
3) Why don't you use a "nice" picture, where you're dressed up in a suit and tie? I don't wanna. This is the real me.
Any other questions?
My Author Journey
This started when I was a kid. A little kid. I've been writing almost my whole life in one way or another. Am I a professional writer?
I have been, yes. I've worked in several positions that were centered around writing. Even if some jobs weren't focused primarily around writing, I found a way to integrate or focus on it and hone my skills: emails, reports, and so on. Believe it or not - and regardless of what employers say - the opportunity to practice writing is always available if you're willing to look for it.
I'm currently working on my first novel. It will open a trilogy of books that expand on my own too-short military service and what it might have been.
My "journey" as an author is just beginning, but it's going to be a wild ride.
Are you in?
The Rogue Trilogy
The Rogue trilogy is a story that's been brewing in my mind for a long, long time. Now I'm writing it. I use my own too-short military career as backstory for the main character. I hope to release the first novel this year.
