James left the East at the age of seventeen to join the navy and serve his country. He says, "I am now eighty-seven years old, and I live on this farm with my dog, Cocoa. I am about to bring you a story from the figment of my imagination. It is a fictional story based on facts about my travels around the world during my time with the US Navy and trips with my late wife, Anita." With the support and encouragement from Anita, he has put pen to paper to share the wild adventures of his heart and mind.
