James Powell

James Powell was born and bred in South Wales where he developed a passion for good stories. British, French and American History continue to fascinate him, while strong family connections with the Army helped him to ignite a particular enthusiasm for Military History.

After studying English and History at university, he became a secondary school English teacher, which has allowed him to share his love of good stories with his pupils.

He is married, and lives in Kent with his wife and their cat, in a house filled with books.

James' novels are inspired by his favourite fields of History. His novels will appeal to people who favour well-researched fiction, Military History and adventure stories. They are also for those enjoy learning about real events whilst being immersed in dramatic, poignant stories filled with colourful characters.

Projects in the pipeline will also draw on his Welsh heritage, and his family ties with New Zealand.
