James Eggebeen

James A. Eggebeen began writing at a young age, but it was only after he was disillusioned by a college course in poetry that he switched to creative writing class and was bitten by the fiction bug and hasn't looked back.

Born into a Dutch farming community in Wisconsin, James served in the Navy and then worked as an executive in the high-tech sector. It was when his wife spent three months abroad that he began to think about writing professionally.

When he's not immersed in worlds of swords and sorcery, James works from home as a programmer, something he says helps avoid the daily commute on clogged Californian roads.

James has met many new friends as an active member in several writing groups and loves working with new writers to help them along on their journey.
