About James:

I work at Atlantis casino on Paradise Island, where I have spent the bulk of my career. I started writing casino stories from Paradise Island casino, as it then was, as there were so many interesting and intriguing ones floating around that I felt they ought to be recorded somehow. Dodge City had nothing on us.

I also wrote a few family stories as it seemed they should not be lost to posterity either. Boy, was my family weird and their friends weirder?

I have read SF and Fantasy since I was a teenager. There are two dark symptoms that show up in fans of those genres. First, they don’t throw any books away, and the stuff piles up and takes over. Secondly they (we) want to write the stuff.

Once I had written all the old gaming stories, I started on novels. I have three finished ones on this site. If they ever get published, I will remove them. In any case, I still need input, so I would appreciate any comments.

My novels all have a simple premise, What if…

My next project is The History of Paradise Island Casino, which I will post here as it gets written, though the posts may not appear chronologically.

The mafia, sex, gambling, stealing and skullduggery, not to mention stock manipulation, political bribery and one of the weirdest strikes ever.  It’s a challenge for me. If I get it right, it’ll have everyone talking!.
