About the Author

This is James Marcus’ second novel of the series A World Beyond Our Own. James was born and raised in British Columbia, Canada. Reading has always been one of James’ favorite past times. Writing became one of his greatest passions when he fell in love with the craft in his twenties, as a student studying kinesiology. What was at first a hobby became something more that exploded into a heart-felt passion.

James states “That a description of me is not all too important, and if there is anything that I would like my readers to take away from this book, is to find your passion. If there is any young readers reading this, and they’re confused on what to do in life, I say listen to your heart as it’s screaming the answer. Before writing, I wanted to teach yoga, I wanted to compete snowboarding, I wanted to train calisthenics and compete in that. Now I still do all those things but what was once a hobby, simply just writing, exploded into a whole novel and an idea for a series. And I have found myself in the process. Just go with the beat of your heart and life. As they say “go with the flow.” Because it will take you magical places, and I hope you all enjoy my work.”

James continues to write, and hopes to have the third novel of this series releasing soon.
