James King is an Englishman, who lived in South Africa for eighteen years after apartheid. In 2008 he moved to Thailand. He delves into the culture and lives of the people, wherever he lives, and writes about his experiences.

The Author has travelled to more than twenty countries, mixed with politicians, sports stars, music impresarios, business tycoons, murderers, fraudsters, gangsters and hired assassins. They have provided rare material which James uses in his writing.

James’ niche is in literary, thriller and romantic suspense drama. His writing is character driven and emphasises story with a literary bent.

His poetry drifts from the romantic to a fear for the survival of our world and the darkness of death. Inspired by music, film, and literature, Shakespeare, Dickens, Hesse, Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan, amongst others, have all had a profound influence on his writing at some point.
