About this author

G'day Mates,

I am an 'Aussie' that has lived in Michigan, USA since 2001. The winter months are great for writing :)
The summer months are great for motor bike riding with my missus. Jairis is a spirited woman who also has her own motor bike, though sometimes she does ride with me.
When not writing or riding, my time is spent playing a variety of PC games, usually, RTS or MMO's. :) Am starting to get to old and slow for first person shooters. The younguns have faster reflexes :(
I could rave on for a long time, but will restrain myself! See you on a forum or two :)

James


This adventure has been many months in the making. The writing process has been an exhaustive effort and very satisfying at the same time. The learning experience throughout has also been very rewarding. I look forward to growing as a writer and welcome feedback from all.First Contact, The Terran ChroniclesJames Jackson read more »
