Johnson began a career in writing while pursuing his degrees in Journalism and Advertising from the University of Florida at the College of Journalism. While attending school, James worked for the Gainesville Sun as a reporter, photographer, and plate maker. Several of his stories were picked up by the Associated Press. Subsequently, Jim went on to attend law school and obtained a Doctorate of Law. While in law school Jim was a member of the law review and published an article there.
It wasn’t until later in life that Jim’s journalism skills would again serve him well as he began to write his books. It is in these books that Jim will introduce you to his cast of characters that make up the Crime Bandit team. You will meet Lou Malloy, Hilary Kelly, Crusher Barnes and the mysterious “Blue” as they fight their way through one intrigue after another.
Jim writes under the pseudonym J. Frank James as a tribute to his father Frank Johnson, who gave his life serving his country during World War II. Jim has been many things in life, but his greatest enjoyment comes from communicating with people and introducing new readers to the characters that appear in his books. He has written ten novels to date. In addition to his writing pursuits, Jim is also a self-taught artist and rug designer concentrating on endangered species. Jim has displayed his art in several galleries. He has had shows in the Booth Bay Gallery, Booth Bay, Maine; The Goodyear Cottage on Jekyll Island, Georgia; Blue Frog Gallery, Atlanta, Georgia; Glynn Art Association, St Simon’s Island, Georgia; McIntosh Art Association, Darien, Georgia. Working with acrylics, his work is bold, fun, and inspiring. Prints are limited editions on both paper and stretched canvas.
Jim lives in Atlanta, Georgia with his lovely wife, Lorraine, and their ninety-five pound boxer named Jake.view less
