I have lived and breathed adventure stories since I was a child, from the exploits of wandering rabbits in Watership Down, through the Narnia books and Biggles, I have always been captivated by the wonderful worlds that great writers conjure.

As I grew up, I developed a taste for several authors but hit the jackpot the day I stumbled, quite by accident, on my first Dirk Pitt adventure. Nobody recommended Clive Cussler to me - I just spotted a good looking paperback cover one day whilst browsing in my local bookshop. Then to find that there were numerous other stories....and that Clive was still alive and writing more...wonderful! Added to the likes of Hammond Innes and Jack Higgins, I realised just how good adult fiction could be.

I define myself as a writer - I love writing, as well as need it, and I am grateful for anybody who gives up their time and money to read my work. I intend to write at least one new James Pace novel each year, plus additional single novels and poetry as the mood takes me.  I will do my best to make each new book better than the ones before. I would love to hear your feedback. Thanks for taking the time to read these thoughts. Best wishes.
