Bailey James is an orthopedic surgeon, writer, and fifth-generation Floridian, born in Tampa into a family of natural storytellers. He currently lives with his wife on Amelia Island. His experiences in medicine for more than thirty years have provided him with a deep catalogue of characters and situations he mines regularly for his writing. While continuing to practice orthopedics, he spends most of my time writing the type of thrillers he's always enjoyed reading.
