    Author

    James MacArthur

    Hi, I'm 29 years old and i've been writing for nearly 10 years and i've enjoyed modest success. My stories focus on the darker side of fiction with the protaganist in my novel being a semi retired mob enforcer, who thinks nothing of using torture as a means to an end. Some of my short stories are lighter, having a humourous approach to them. I would like to end this profile by saying thanks for taking to time to read it and that I hope you take the time to read my stories.
