James Bennett is a British writer born in Loughborough and raised in Sussex, South Africa and Cornwall.

His travels have furnished him with an abiding love of different cultures, history and mythology.

He's had several short stories published internationally and Chasing Embers is his debut fantasy novel.

James currently lives in west Wales and draws inspiration from long walks, deep forests and old stones . . . and also the odd bottle of wine.
