Overview
I am a writer and a ghost-writer. Books written under my own name have often been 'popular history', intended for a broad and entirely non-specialist audience: Merchant Adventurers, for instance, or Emigrants, both published by the leading publishing house Weidenfeld & Nicolson.
My interests though are broad and I have ghost-written books on a range of subject matter: individual biographies, history, politics, current affairs, the future world - try me, my experience is that most things become fascinating when you spend time with them! Part of the job of a ghost-writer is to sound like the person for whom you are writing. I am good at adapting my style to fit a narrative voice.

'James has a rare ability to make something easily comprehensible, engaging and, where appropriate, entertaining without compromising on its accuracy and integrity. If you want a complex story well told, James is your man.'
