Mystery author Dorothy St. James was born in New York but raised in South Carolina. She makes her home on an artsy island community in South Carolina with her husband, tiny little dog and fluffy cat. Though writing has always been a passion for her, she pursued an undergraduate degree in Wildlife Biology and a graduate degree in Public Administration and Urban Planning. She put her educational experience to use, having worked in all branches and all levels of government including local, regional, state, and federal. She even spent time during college working for a non-profit environmental watchdog organization.
Switching from government service and community planning to fiction writing wasn’t as big of a change as some might think. Her government work was all about the stories of the people and the places where they live. As an urban planner, Dorothy loved telling the stories of the people she met. And from that, her desire to tell the tales that were so alive in her heart grew until she could not ignore it any longer. In 2001, she took a leap of faith and pursued her dream of writing fiction full-time.
Dorothy St. James is the alter-ego of award-winning
multi-published author, Dorothy McFalls. She enjoys
writing in several different genres. Her works have been
nominated for many awards including: Romantic Times
Reviewers’ Choice Award, Reviewers International
Organization Award, National Reader’s Choice Award,
CataRomance Reviewers’ Choice Award, and The Romance
Reviews Today Perfect 10! Award. Reviewers have called her
work: “amazing”, “perfect”,
“filled with emotion”, and “lined with
danger.”
