While he was born in rural southern England, James has spent much of his life traveling, and today he splits his time between Vancouver Island, Ontario, England, and France.

In addition to being a senior police officer, James is also an experienced actor, television presenter and educator and, before taking up writing full-time in 1996, James was Director of Education at the Institute for Environmental Investigations in Toronto.

Deadly Sin
Emotions run high when Queen Elizabeth II attempts to heal the schism between Christians and Muslims by attending a London mosque for Friday prayers. David Bliss, newly returned to duty while he tries to find a publisher for his novel, has the task of protecting the royal couple, but is caught off guard when an attack comes from an unexpected quarter. Could the forces of the Devil be at work?..
