About the Author

James Craigmiles was born in Portsmouth, Virginia on a naval base. He moved to Missouri with his family at an early age and finally settled in Belle. It was in that small Missouri town that he learned what being a Midwest Man was all about. It was also in Belle where he found his calling as an artist. Through acting and writing, Craigmiles has found an outlet to tell his stories to the world. From age four to age 24 James excelled on stage, doing any part he could get his hands on (and learning the hard way that he was not meant for musical theater... as his voice could crack glass!). At 24 James moved his passion from stage over to film and television where he has been working ever since. With roles in film, television, and commercials he is steadily building his resume and looks forward to the day when he will be the leading man. At the same time he has realized that acting jobs aren't there every day. So he put his pen to paper and has found a love of writing. This work is his first full length novel and he is busy working on his next ones. He also wrote his first film, Right Side / Blind Side, which stars himself and has a special appearance by his friend Leslie Jordan.
