Profile: James Whittaker

Name: James Whittaker

Area of writing: Novels

Genres: Fantasy, Medieval Thriller, Crime.

Biography: Now an analyst in the civil service, specialising in astronomy, I attempted my first novel at the age of eleven. Almost twenty year on, I write novels almost exclusively and enjoy the experience of getting to know the characters my mind spins. I love to build intrigue and mystery into my work and enjoy pieces which hold the reader in suspense.

wordcentral: Joined wordcentral in 2009 and it's been an experience. My writing has really developed thanks to the feedback from the other members. The group has been patient enough to listen to re-drafts of my latest work, positive when I'm feeling experimental, and supportive when I'm struggling to get the words down on paper.

Pet peeves: Over use of the word "was".

Interests other than writing: Folk music and dancing, bellringing (this is a word despite what the spell checker says), Astronomy.

Blog Posts: Soon to follow.
