I grew up in Austin, Texas and attended North Texas State and graduated with a Marketing degree from the University of Texas at Austin. I played music in high school and college and bought a music store in 1975. I started writing songs and recorded a 4 song cassette entitled "Neon Rainbow." In 2005 I recorded a full length CD entitled "The Love Doctor." I used a stage name of Bill James and I listed the CD on CD Baby. I also started writing screenplays and a novella entitled "The Three Souls." The Three Souls I began to work on while I was working my day job. I just had the novella edited by Karl Monger from Austin, Texas. The Three Souls is about Johnny Chambers whio is falsely convicted of a crime. While in prison he meets two prisoners and realizes that the two are reincarnations of Vincent Van Gogh and Amadeus Mozart. He nurtures their talent and works with the prison and trying to help the prisoners gain their freedom through their new found talent. The warden is helpful at first but then decides he is going to rip them off and cash in on their creations. Johnny decides it is time to escape and he formulates a plan to leave with their art and both the reincarnated prisoners. The action is fast and moving and in the middle of the heist he realizes he is Ernest Hemingway reincarnated. The time frame is around 1961-1964 and it is also interwoven with the Kennedy assasination to make the plot more exciting.
