Renee James

Renee James welcomes commercial fiction—mystery, suspense, legal, etc.—and literary fiction that has a plot and entertainment value. She'll consider other fiction and non-fiction. She once reviewed popular fiction for a book marketing company as a hobby. She was a magazine editor for many years covering technical and political subjects for consumer and trade audiences and now works full-time as a free-lance writer. Her first novel, Coming Out Can Be Murder, was published in 2012 and won the Chicago Writer's Association Book of the Year Award for non-traditionally published fiction. Coming Out is also a finalist in the ForeWord Reviews book of the year competition for independent publishers and authors in the LGBT category. She is working on her second novel now.
