Dwayne James

Writer and watercolourist Dwayne R. James lives in the Chester Basin, Nova Scotia area of Canada where he writes and paints as often as he can, that is when he's not spending time with his very forgiving family.

Dwayne has a Masters Degree in archaeology, something he claims is definitive proof that he knows how to write creatively. "Indeed, the most important skill I learned in university," he posits, "is the ability to pretentiously write about myself in the third person."

After spending close to a decade as a technical writer at a large multi-national computer company, Dwayne opted to look at their January 2009 decision to downsize him as an opportunity to become a stay@home Dad for his newborn twins, and pursue his painting and writing whenever the boys allow him to do so.

It is a decision that continues to make him giggle with wild abandon to this very day.
