Welcome to my world!

I'm James Maxey, the author of the Bitterwood fantasy trilogy composed of Bitterwood, Dragonforge, and Dragonseed. Before these saw print, I was best known for the superhero novel Nobody Gets the Girl. This website is focused exclusively on my published fiction. At my second blog, Jawbone of an Ass, I serve up loudmouthed blathering about politics, religion, money, and other topic polite people have the sense to avoid.

If you're here for news about my fiction, you're in luck! 2011 saw the release of my short fiction collection There is No Wheel plus my supervillain novel Burn Baby Burn. In January 2012, my Dragon Apocolypse series lauches with the release of Greatshadow, following in July by the second book in the series, Hush. Click here for a preview of Greatshadow. I should be releasing at least two books a year for the foreseeable future. Stay tuned!

Dragon Sighted in Natural Habitat!


Cheryl's coworker Lisa Vlastellica spotted Greatshadow today on display at Quail Ridge Books on Wade Avenue in Raleigh and was kind enough to snap this photo. This is the first reported sighting of this book in its natural habitat of a book store.

As one might discern by looking at the photo closely, I'll be at Quail Ridge on Friday, February 10 to sign copies of Greatshadow. While the book is officially released tomorrow, I'm calling the tenth my book launch. There will be dragon cookies and possibly a cake with the book photo.

It's a relief to see the book in a bookstore at last. I've been a bundle of nerves all week about the release tomorrow. I started working on Greatshadow back in the summer of 2009. It both exciting, frightening, and a little surreal to know that the book is finally out in the world for readers to find.
