James W. Battee
Biography
James Battee Is a 75-year-old retiree and who is twice widowed. He grew up in Baltimore Maryland and moved to Glen Burnie one of its suburbs after he married his second wife, Judy. An avid reader and writer, his first book, Double Trouble on Corned Beef Row, was published in 2010 in both print and e-book versions. Even though the book saw critical acceptance, it's so only limited readership.
His second book, Spiny Funkle, used his wife's grandchildren as models for some of the characters. Their first names and basic physical descriptions were helpful in determining the path the story would take. Everything else is pure fiction including the main character and the mythical disease from which he suffered..
James is active in his community and serves as recording secretary to its Residents Council and is currently working on a third book, Jihad, that tells of a terrorist attack on the infrastructure of the United States and Western Europe. He hopes to have it completed by the spring of 2015.
