James Sykes

Hi, I'm James! I misspent my youth in Leamington Spa, Hong Kong and London. Ever since I was a child we had a strong tradition for stories and audio books shared together as a family, with tea and toast. I always had a passion for writing but with my dyslexia I was afraid and found it difficult to express myself in words. But this never stopped me from dreaming exciting stories. I was in love with funny but ultimately dark stories, passionate for reading authors like Roald Dahl, Stephen king, Clive barker and one year I discovered a illustrated picture book written by dean Koontz. It was called Santa's twin and I loved it.

I was also very influenced by horror artists like Danielle Tunstall . Although my ambition was to create beautiful stories for people to share together and be published. I just wanted to recognised for my work and free to write about whatever I liked. James Sykes writes in the dark.
