James HannaJAMES HANNA wandered Australia for seven years before settling on a career in criminal justice. He spent twenty years as a counselor in the Indiana Department of Corrections and recently retired from the San Francisco Probation Department where he wa assigned to a domestic violence and stalking unit. James' familiarity with the criminal element has provided fodder for much of his writing. His debut novel, The Siege, depicts a hostage standoff in a penal facility. Rob Slavens, Top 100 Reviewer, writes: This is the raw, gritty reality of life in prison and the best of its genre that I have ever come across. Call Me Pomeroy, James' second novel, chronicles the madcap tales of a street musician on parole who joins Occupy Oakland and its spinoff movements in Europe. He does not join for political reasons but to get on television, attract an agent and score a million dollar recording contract. The first chapter, appearing in Empty Sink Publishing, was deemed Editor's Choice for that issue. James' short stories are written in many genres, including science fantasy. His tales are published in those journals that prefer stories written in blood, stories that depict unvarnished truth over political correctness. Red Savina Review, The Literary Review, Crack the Spine and Sixfold have all published James' stories. Many of James' stories appear in his third and fourth books: A Second, Less Capable Head and Other Rogue Stories and Shackles and More Gripping Tales. Read More Read Less
