He is best known for his Sabel Security series of thrillers, featuring athlete and heiress Pia Sabel and her bodyguard, the mentally unstable veteran Jacob Stearne. These characters, who each bring their own strengths and weaknesses to the table, provide a compelling narrative that has resonated with readers worldwide. James' love of creativity began at an early age, growing up at Frank Lloyd Wright’s School of Architecture in Arizona and Wisconsin, and he has carried that imagination with him throughout his career. From sales and marketing to fiction, James has found his true calling in writing, and he continues to produce engaging and thought-provoking novels for his readers.
