In their own words

James holds an MA in History from Appalachian State University and is a Career Counselor and adjunct History Instructor at Coastal Carolina Community College. When He's not teaching he can usually be found on the beach or sitting on his back porch writing, usually with his dog.

Waves carry softlyacross the treacherous deepyour midnight messagewith two lonely hearts waitingwatching a starry sky fade
Chilly water runsdown Lonely Mountain Valleyswrinkled fingers touchwarm lips beneath crystal skiesmeeting in translucent pools.
