James Williams is a guy who took forty years to decide what he wanted to do with his life. Born in the "Show Me" state, Missouri, he has lived in Texas since he was very young. Williams graduated from the University of Houston-DC with a degree in accounting, but he never worked a day as an accountant. His Missouri stubbornness prevented him from staying at any job for more than three years at a time. Consequently, he has had fourteen different full time jobs in the thirty years he and Julie have been married. Williams always had a wanderlust spirit, but the pressures of providing for his wife and four kids required him to keep his nose to the grindstone. Writing was the farthest thing from his mind, except for silly poems and songs he wrote for the kids when they were little. Never a big reader of fiction, Williams confined his reading to the newspaper and history books, but he had a knack for telling stories. So on a whim, he decided to write a novel. Williams lives in Tomball, Texas and now that he knows what he likes to do, you can find him at work on his next book.
