James L Davis

James L. Davis is an author who lives with his wife in Spanish Fork, Utah, in a home infested with children and animals where he is very happy and not altogether sane.

He is one novel deep into a four novel series that has been wrecking havoc in his fragile brain for more than 30 years. He tagged the science-fiction / fantasy series as a story about “the end of everything” and is only now beginning to realize it may in fact be about the end of him.

He has started the painful process of searching for an agent and publisher for the first book in the series, The Rages, while he pens the second novel. Looking back on a long and winding trail, he chose the dream of a writer because the thought of being reclusive was appealing. He did not realize that to achieve such a reclusive life required a great deal of self promotion and talking to people about the odd things you do in a dark room with a keyboard and monitor. It was nowhere in the promotional literature about the joys of being a writer.

When he is not being harassed by the people who live in his head and scream at his brain he enjoys running (not very fast, more like wobbling really), reading, anything involving a boat going fast, and confusing his family. He also plans to jump out of a perfectly good airplane fairly soon.

He promised his wife that when he turned 50 he would become a cowboy. He asked for an extension until he was 60 but was granted no reprieve. He is quite sure he will make a ridiculous looking cowboy.
