HI! I’m Earl James. I live in Seattle with my wife, Kat, and our cat, who still doesn’t have a name. I didn’t start writing until my sixties, and I experimented with writing various genres under different pen names for the better part of a decade.

It wasn’t until 2020 that I began to write the one series I had the most hope in – the Morrow’s Con series. Morrow is a character I’ve had in the back of my mind for years, but I lacked the confidence to actually write about him. When I realized I’d better hurry up and write it before the grim reaper arrived, I buckled down and produced Morrow’s Con – Opening Gambit. I loved the lead character so much, I decided to write more.

Before I began my writing career, I filled all my time as a small business owner. I had a bevy of wonderful people working for me and with me, and I experimented with different techniques to try to create a more motivated, happy, and engaged workforce. I studied people and learned what made them who they were. In other words, I educated myself about human nature. I developed a better understanding of people and what makes them tick—what motivates them to do what they do. I learned not only how to predict how the employees would react to changes, but also how to create an environment where they enjoyed working and performed productively. It was those insights that helped me to understand human nature, very much like the character Morrow does.

Now I’m having fun too. Writing more and working less. And by the way, as an unknown author, an honest review of any kind would help me immensely. I would appreciate it so much, maybe I’d even let you name my cat for me.
