James is a retired public servant. He now likes to write about his many life experiences.  He has been a paramedic, firefighter, private detective, intelligence officer, pharmacy technician, adoption advocate, coach, husband and father.  Some of James' writings are whimsical  poems, others are  endearing short stories.  James also shares some very raw discussions on mental health. He writes daily and has been more open about sharing some of his work in retirement, so check back often and feel free sharing his work with others.
