About Me

My photo
Wilson James
I was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest and currently live on the coast in northern California. I have worked in, on, and around the water, and love to travel. I am a sailor and I also identify myself as an author of adult and young adult fiction. Two of my books, "A Family Legacy: THE WATSON WORKS" and "PLAYING THE BASEBALL CARD" maintained a top 1% Sales Rank for over a year at Barnes and Noble.com. "A Family Legacy: THE WATSON WORKS" also made it into the second round of the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award. Another of my books, SONS and BROTHERS in SEATTLE, made it to the top of the Best Sellers list for Adult Drama fiction and to the top of the YA Best Sellers list at Smashwords. I primarily sell my eBooks on Smashwords, as they have worldwide coverage with no country or regional restrictions. So have a look!
