James Eddy
James Eddy was born in Braintree, Essex in April 1980. After moving first to Colchester, Essex, the family settled in South Norfolk and James was able to enjoy the wide open spaces and quiet of the area which fed his imagination. Following an undistinguished University career, he began writing scripts for films and acting out the cliche of the drunken writer. He diversified by moving into prose and eventually focussed enough to write a collection of Short Stories called 'Diamonds', along with several other short stories, a novel, and novella. He released 'Bewilder', the first story from 'Diamonds' in April 2012 which was rapidly followed by 'Heart over Head over Heels', 'Two New Fairytales', 'Bonfire Blues', and 'Lily Green'.
