James's latest Young Adult horror novel, RIFT, released recently. He lives in the Appalachian Highlands of Tennessee and loves sci-fi movies and playing basketball. He is not a fan of eyebrows in fiction wiggling and waggling and dipping and diving and furrowing and flying upward and exploding with emotion. He loves reading novels that do not mention eyebrows. That is his favorite genre. James has been penning smart, taut thrillers that actually thrill, since 2006.
