I was born James Robert Alexander in May 1958, in the village of Hampton, County of Middlesex. I left school at the age of 16 and moved down to the beautiful county of Devon in the heart of the West Country of England, where I live to this day.

In 1977 I met my wife Mandy and married her in that same year, and we are still happy together after 30 years of marriage.

Over the years, I can safely say that I have been educated in the University of Life, dodging all the kicks and punches that life can throw at one. From

these experiences, both good and bad, I have learned to draw from and include in my writing.

I am an avid reader, enjoying mainly alternative history and science books. I love walking and enjoying the countryside, travelling (especially around the United States of America), and going to the movies. In recent years, I have developed a wide interest in all things strange and paranormal, including Spiritualism and UFOs. I have even become pagan in my beliefs, choosing to follow the ways of my ancestors in the Northern European tradition known as Asatruism or more commonly as Odinism. This novel, The Feathered Serpent, is my first novel and it is also the first novel in a trilogy, of which I hope you will enjoy.
