Author of the Month

Stephen James

Born and raised in Birmingham, UK whereI attended Handsworth Grammar school. There, I developed an interest in literature and history. For thirty years, I lived in the East Midlands, having careers in catering, finance, business management and sales, but was always an author at heart. After having poetry published in local magazines, I wanted to tell my story as I had first-hand experience of the Birmingham bombings, having been in one of the devastated buildings only one and a half hours before the explosion.

I now live in Lincoln Uk with my partner, writing and continuing to study human behaviour.
