James Raven

James Raven is a student of life. He draws on knowledge and experience gained through the school of hard knocks and through a long career in both federal and state public service. After publishing his first nonfiction book on separation and divorce and having some success, he realized that he had the creative ability to pursue writing in the genre that most interested him—a world of possibilities, adventures, and excitement. The inspiration for Sentinels of Tzurac, and for others to follow, was born out of the desire to give to the reader the opportunity to escape the everyday mundane life by living and experiencing a new world.
