Retired District Police Commander, James Hawkins, weaves more than thirty years of police and private investigation experience into his novels and plays. While he was born in rural southern England James has spent much of his life traveling.
Today he splits his time between Gabriola Island in the Pacific Northwest and the rest of the world, where he and his wife, Sheila, are researching and writing a series of travel guides for independent minded retirees. Their ‘Blissful Adventures’ travel blog can be found at www.hawkson.travellerspoint.com.

In addition to being a senior police officer, James is also an experienced actor, television presenter and educator and, before taking up writing full-time in 1996, James was Director of Education at the Institute for Environmental Investigations in Toronto.
