James J. Kaufman

James J. Kaufman is the author of the award-winning "The Collectibles", its sequel, "The Concealers", and now "The Conciliators" , the third book in the Collectibles series. "The Collectibles" became a bestseller and went on to receive the 2011 Nautilus Silver Award for Fiction and the 2011 Benjamin Franklin Bill Fisher Silver Award for Best First Novel. The story of the Collectibles continues in "The Concealers", Book 2 of the trilogy, as characters old and new navigate a world tainted by deceit and despair. "In 'The Concealers'," Kaufman says, "I have tried to raise what I believe is one of the fundamental questions of our time: Does the truth still matter?" "The Concealers" has also received the 2014 Nautilus Silver Award for Fiction. The author has drawn heavily from his experiences in law, his dealings in the business world, and his interactions with people from widely different backgrounds. "I write about the dilemmas and choices that face us all," Kaufman said, "both as fellow humans and as Americans. We talk a lot about success in this country but what, in the end, does constitute a 'successful' life? I would argue that a good life lived is not about control or money but about extensions of the heart." In addition to his writing, Kaufman is an attorney, former judge, and former Chairman of the Board of Imaging the World. He is a proud member and former Board member of the esteemed Players, Gramercy Park, the Union League Club, New York City, and The Cape Fear Club, Wilmington, North Carolina. Kaufman and his wife make their home Wilmington, North Carolina. "The Conciliators" is now available in hardcover and in e-book. It will also be available in audio in December of this year.
