James Carter

Biography

Born in London and educated at Oxford, James Carter spends his life pursuing challenges. By the age of 25 he had driven from Cape Town to Cairo in a dune buggy, and sailed across the Pacific in a yacht crewed by himself and his best friend.

James currently lives in India where he teaches English and courts controversy by staging school plays that call for the empowerment of women and children. He is an active critic of India’s caste system and works with numerous shelters in Delhi that support victims of domestic violence.

Smashwords book reviews by James Carter

The Ultimate Adventure: Journey to the Spirit Kingdom on June 19, 2011

I love this book. Its about the inner strength that a hero must tap into to make their dreams a reality. And it celebrates all that mother nature has to offer. I recommend this book for all people who love animals, who believe just a little in ghosts, and who want to see the environment protected for future generations.
The Ultimate Fantasy: Chinese Hero on June 19, 2011

Splendid fun! A whimsical fantasy ride into the mysterious orient with a crazy young boy, his serious friend, and a giant chicken with a huge chip on his shoulder. This story will appeal to those readers with giant imaginations who have always wondered what it would be like to save the world from chaos.
The Ultimate Quest: Olympic Gold on June 19, 2011

A rollicking good ride through ancient Greece! The characters are so much fun, especially young Clio who is determined to run the Olympic Games as she sees fit. This is the perfect story for all readers who love sport, action, and the ideals embodied in the Olympic movement.
