A veteran of the Peace Corps, author James A. Ross draws upon a diverse personal resume in his writing. Signed to a three book deal with Level Best Books in 2021, James' first book, "Coldwater Revenge", intertwines family intrigue with a compelling, far reaching murder mystery on the northern border of the continental United States. Now a resident of the rugged frontier of Wyoming, James discusses the Cowboy tradition of the "tall tale", which he practices in the clubs of his adopted home almost every weekend. From Teddy Roosevelt to the giants of industry who may have wished the former president dead, James Ross has a unique perspective on history that we all came to appreciation in this fascinating hour.

JAMES A. ROSS, an author from Jackson, Wyoming, joined us to discuss his writing career, and his debut novel, "Hunting Teddy Roosevelt", as well as his "Coldwater" series. FROM HIS WEBSITE: "Storytelling is fun, but it never paid the bills. To take care of necessities, I've at various times been a Peace Corps volunteer in the Congo, a low-level staffer for a Midwestern Congressman and a three-piece suited Wall Street lawyer and deal maker. Hey, it was a living. These days I write from my home in the Teton Valley of Wyoming, where elk and other four-legged residents outnumber the two-legged variety by ten to one, and the patrons of the local cowboy bars appreciate a well-told tall tale.My short fiction has appeared in numerous literary journals and has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize. I have been a guest storyteller on the Moth Main Stage and a several times winner of the live storytelling competition, Cabin Fever Story Slam. My debut historical novel, HUNTING TEDDY ROOSEVELT, won the American Book Festival Fiction Award for historical adventure, the Independent Press Distinguished Favorite award for historical fiction, the Firebird Book Award for action/adventure, and was a finalist for the National Indie Excellence Award for historical fiction and shortlisted for a Goethe Historical Fiction Award. My debut mystery novel, COLDWATER REVENGE won the American Book Festival Fiction Award for mystery/suspense: hardboiled crime and the Firebird Book Award for legal/thrillers. The second book in the series, COLDWATER CONFESSION, is scheduled for release in April 2022." https://www.jamesrossauthor.com
