James Garner

James Garner was born in Farnborough, London in 1977 and lived in the village of Eynsford, Dartford where he showed signs of creativity from an early age. Aged seven James moved with his family to Maidstone, Kent where they lived in a run-down water mill which his Father converted in the coming years. The setting played a huge part in the inspiration of James' first book "Bob and the River of Time"

During his time in Maidstone, James exhibited and sold much of his portrait work in local galleries and took a keen interest in the nature of reality which served as a great influence in honing different creative styles.

Now living in Suffolk, James carries on his creative passion, writing and illustrating more books as well as enjoying practical work such as carpentry, general building and decorating.
