James King is a retired English businessman who lived in South Africa for eighteen years after apartheid was dismantled. In 2008 he moved to Thailand. His natural instinct is to delve into the culture and lives of the people, wherever he lives.
The Author has travelled to more than twenty countries, has mixed with politicians, sports stars, music impresarios, business tycoons, murderers, fraudsters, and even hired assassins. Each of them has provided rare material which he uses to add colour to 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.
