W. Richard St. James

My creative endeavours have been something of a random walk, with forays into mathematics, software development, poetry, musical composition, and, of course, fiction. My first serious attempt at writing novels came almost fifty years ago, and, had it been more successful, my life might have been very different. As it turned out, I spent much of the intervening time as one of the key programmers for a giant in the computer industry. I have always been a serious pianist, but in my late thirties I discovered that I also have a talent for composition. During my years as a road warrior, I used to stay at hotels with pianos in the atrium, and give impromptu concerts in the evening. You can hear my music on Soundclick. I have recently added some songs with orchestral settings. If I add that I was a soccer player in college, some may suspect an alter ego in my novels. Now that I am retired, I have time to return to one of my early vocations. Hopefully, I have become better with time.

I live with in a large house with my wife of many years. My children moved away to their own lives, but like so many of their generation they have returned. I am an active church member, but I believe that binding our understanding to ancient texts is foolish. The world of my novels is one where God is still at work in dangerous and unsettling ways, perhaps a world very much like the one we live in. Some may be shocked that such a serious person is writing such sensual novels, and I am a bit surprised also. But, the characters have burst out of their own volition, and at this point, they have taken on a life of their own. I hope that you will enjoy them as much as I do.

A Doll’s Foot by W. Richard St. James... NEW!!

Nestor Warren is a tech billionaire, a genius who has invented many of the algorithms that are the basis for artificial intelligence. But his wife has died, he’s lonely, and he creates an Investigative Directorate, perhaps to root out evil, maybe just to give him a chance to be a road warrior. One who no longer has to behave himself. A washed up OnlyFans group has started to dabble in Satanism to try to keep the tips coming in. They have been invited by a mysterious fugitive girl to come to the Cape, where anything and everything is permitted, next to a notorious swinger resort where the waitresses are on the menu. But their host needs to leave, so they stage a mock sacrifice in her honor. Then she really does vanish. Nestor is sent to investigate, why he is not really sure, but he’s happy enough to enjoy the delights of the area, including Melanie, one of the group members. Then the missing girl’s foot turns up, her bodyguard is murdered. After that things start to get messy. More>>
