Author Information

James Seeley has lived several lives - from running a Gooney Golf course in Tennessee to leading troops as a U.S. Army officer, to managing Engineering Support at a nuclear power plant. And all along the way he was observing and writing. Born with a rebel's heart, he always seemed to choose the harder path, guided by an instinctive refusal to follow the crowd just because it was the easiest way to go. Outspoken by nature, he never shied away from standing up for what he believed was right or calling out the injustices of men. Raised in a Southern Baptist family where conformity was expected, he struggled to avoid generating conflict. His childhood was spent moving. Across cities, countries, and continents due to his father's military career - from Texas to Tennessee to Germany to Mississippi to Alaska and a dozen places in between. One of four siblings, he collected stories (and scars) along the way, the kind you only earn by living wide and paying attention. His work reflects that range of experience - disciplined but curious, reflective but irreverent. He is the author of Enfilade (a Vietnam War novel) and The Self-Indulgent Whinings of Don Astyanax Jones (poetry), both carrying his signature blend of wit, introspection, and deep biting irony. Most days you can find him inside a book or his imagination, under the watchful eyes of his best bud Figaro the cat. He writes to share the mysteries he has uncovered within that black box of the recollections of his own human experience. He writes to explore what it means to be alive.
