Hi, my name is James and for everyone out there who's been considerate enough to advise me not to quit my day job, don't worry-- I haven't. I currently work as a security manager for an independent traveling circus, where I strive to ensure that your next ride on the Cyclone is in full compliance with most, if not all, applicable state safety regulations. When I'm not living my dream of seeing the great people of this great country from the parking lots of local shopping malls and Moose lodges, I write fiction.
