KA James (my friends call me Jimmy), I am a near retirement age chemical engineer, living in the PNW. Writing has been a hobby of sorts, an escape as well, and possibly even a kind of self-therapy for many years now, but mostly just for my family. I started with sci-fi, YA style that my kids would like. Somewhere along the line I switched to primarily horror stories though. The kids are older, and they seem to enjoy them as well. My spouse claims I get a little too gruesome at times, that I need to write a story once in awhile where nobody dies. The few half-serious attempts at sharing my work over the years have essentially lead nowhere, and that was always fine and mostly expected. Here's hoping that, along with a good deal of effort and constructive feedback (always welcome), my fortunes improve. If not, I'm still having a good time doing this.
