James Salimes hails from Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, USA. At an early age, he descended into dungeons, pen and paper in hand. Enchanted by spells and sipping bitter tea warmed by dragon fire, he wrote tales of magical places. He gained an audience among his peers as his elementary school teachers read his stories to the class.  His debut novel, The Fullness of Time, began as a bedtime story for his four children. His wife (a creative genius), with the flare and grace of a goddess, granted him frequent passage to the kingdom of Nantes, where he completed book I.For nearly two decades he has served as a spiritual director, counselor, and chaplain. Through myth and mire, the Treasure In A Field trilogy silhouettes the order, disorder, and reorder pattern of life. Book I, The Fullness of Time, will be released in November of 2022.
