James M. Corkill is a Veteran and retired Federal Firefighter from Washington State, USA. He was an electronic technician and studied mechanical engineering before eventually becoming a firefighter and retiring.
He began writing in 1997, and was fortunate to meet a famous horror writer named Hugh B. Cave, who became his mentor. In 2002, he self-published a dozen copies of Dead Energy, just so his wife could see his book before she was taken by cancer. When his soul mate was gone, he stopped writing and began drinking heavily until 2013, when he met a stranger who recognized his name and had enjoyed an old copy of Dead Energy. When the stranger encouraged him to start writing again, he realized this chance meeting was just what he needed to hear at the right moment, and he quit drinking and began the rewrite of Dead Energy into The Alex Cave Series. He is now an award-winning author.
