James M. McCracken
"Writing for me is like taking a mini-vacation that doesn't cost you anything and doesn't require hours of travel. When I am writing I get to see a different world filled with people/ characters who don't always cooperate with each other and at times even with me. It makes the whole experience interesting."
James M. McCracken began writing stories when he was a teenager and dreamed of someday becoming a published author. After spending twenty years working for the telephone company, he wrote the first in a planned series of young reader mysteries inspired by his teen years spent in a seminary boarding school. His other book AWAKE, a dystopian post-apocalyptic tale, is a departure from his preferred genre. It was inspired by a strange dream. Starting out as a serial, he later compiled it into one novel. He retired early in 2002 and continued pursuing his writing. He currently lives in Redmond, Oregon. |
