James Maxey

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!

Tune in to The State of Things!

Tomorrow (Wednesday 1-11) I'll be a guest on The State of Things on my local NPR station, WUNC. The show broadcasts live at noon, though I think I'll be on during the third segment of the show, probably closer to 12:40. The show also rebroadcasts each night at 9pm, and can be streamed live from the WUNC webpage. Archives of old shows can also be found there.

I'll be talking about my two latest releases, Burn Baby Burn and Greatshadow, telling the stories behind the stories. Tune it tomorrow!
