James D. Shipman

Greetings. I'm a northwest author published by Kensington Publishing. I have eight published historical titles including GOING HOME, IT IS WELL, A BITTER RAIN, TASK FORCE BAUM, and BEYOND THE WIRE. My next title, BEFORE THE STORM, will be released on February 21, 2023 and is available for pre-order now. I love history, a passion passed on to me by my father. I grew up on stories of the civil war, and our family history. I was able to explore my love of the past and of writing at the University of Washington, where I obtained a degree in history in 1995, followed by law school at Gonzaga University in 1998. I still practice law, and conduct mediations, helping people settle their cases before trial. I live north of Seattle with my wonderful wife and a blended family of seven children. Thank you for your support and I'd love to hear from you. james@james-shipman.com twitter@jshipman_author Instagram@jshipman_author
