James is an attorney admitted in Maine, Massachusetts, New York, and Florida who weaves his experiences from the legal battles in these jurisdictions into his stories. He enjoys combining the "legalese" with his experiences growing up in the summers in Kennebunkport, Maine and raising six children with his wife, Gretchen. "There is no shortage of material when you have a large family that lives in two different places every year." James practices law out of his Tallahassee office and writes novels from his camp in the Port. He hopes that The Bike Cop series will be enjoyed by both young and old.
