This is J.W. Haymer's first novel, but by no means is he a stranger to the written word. In the '70's, James was the founding member of "Silverspoon," produced by the late Mal Evans. He is still a recording artist with four solo albums of original material and has written songs for Mike Love, Dave Mason, Maria Vidal and many others. He was in the pop band "The Knack" and later formed a duo, "Two Guys from Van Nuys." He now lives in Middle Tennessee with his wife and three sons. His recordings can be found on iTunes under the name of James Wesley Haymer.
