About the Author

James Hayman was born and raised in New York. He graduated from Brown University and joined a major New York ad agency, rising through the ranks to become creative director on accounts like the US Army, Proctor and Gamble, and Lincoln/Mercury. He left New York in August 2001 for Portland Maine shortly before the 9/11 attacks, in search of the right place to begin a new career as fiction writer. He is married to Jeanne who he says is also his best friend, his most attentive reader and perceptive critic.
