James Anderson began writing fiction to bring to light the effects of cults after he and his wife had their own experience with an exploitative church. In addition to Breaking Point, he has written three previous books about Jonah and the twins: The Threefold Cord, Rebirth, and House of Refuge. The fifth book in the series, Menace From the Past, will be published at a later date.

A retired professional engineer, who was involved in telecommunications for over thirty years, James is also an electronics hobbyist and holds an amateur radio license. He also enjoys outdoor activities such as camping, canoeing, and especially cycling on his mountain bike. He lives with his wife Julie, with whom he will soon celebrate his fortieth anniversary, in Winnipeg Manitoba.
