James Schroeder

James Schroeder was born in Palatine, IL, in 1991. Growing up in a family of educators, he was always writing stories and other forms of creative writing in his spare time. Throughout his high school and part of his college career, he wrote screenlays for clubs, but eventually started writing short stories, instead, for leisure.

After writing a handful of longer stories, Mr. Schroeder decided to write his own original works and became a member of the Chicago Writers Association. His love for the Mystery and Noir genres inspired him to write his first novel, The Devil You Know. His passion for history shines through in the Devil You Know and his new series, "The Hill Files".
