James Alpheus Frazier was born in Savannah Georgia and a member of the baby boomers generation. There is where he attended public schools. His abilities in athletics earned him scholarships to college. His good grades earned offers in academics. He chose instead to attend junior college while living with relatives in New York. He eventually accepted a basketball grant to a college in Baltimore. He majored in English Literature where his greatest interests reside. After graduating as a dean's list student, he went back to Georgia and became a radio journalist. He joined his brother and others once again in New York where he was a H.S. teacher for nine years. It was later in Georgia however that his lifelong ambition to be a writer took its current identity. James abandoned all the ideas he contrived while living in NYC and let DEER ON THE PARKWAY come into frame.
