About Me


Welcome! I'm romance author Maddie James. In my books you'll find a little humor, some suspense, a spicy love scene or two, and always a happy ending.

I'm published in a number of venues other than romance, including academic/educational chapters and materials, and magazine and newspaper articles. My past romance releases are from Kensington Books and Thorndike Press. I am very excited about upcoming releases from Resplendence Publishing!

Take a walk around my myspace site and see what you can find! Hopefully you'll find something that tickles your fancy. Enjoy!

Music:

I tend to wander when listening to music. One day it could be country, another blues, jazz, 60s-70s oldies--whatever CD happens to jump into my hand. Am partial to Norah Jones, Madeleine Peryoux, Natalie Cole, Dixie Chicks....

Movies:

If it's a chick flick, I like it. But hey, given the right set of circumstances, I can hold my own with a run and gun, shoot 'em up boy flick

Television:

Grey's Anatomy. Men in Trees. Desperate Housewives. Brothers and Sisters. And the occasional reality TV show...

Books:

THE CURSE -- The Legend of Blackbeard's Chalice"I felt as if I lived every thrilling moment of THE CURSE. Maddie James writes pulse-pounding suspense and riveting romance!" Teresa Medeiros, New York Times bestselling author

Romantic Times Reviews...beautifully written, sensual and emotional, this is a compelling read. Five red roses. Red Roses ReviewsThe Curse is one fast-paced book…a page turner…an intriguing story. Maddie James creates an astounding read that held me captivated to the end. This is a series I am most anxious to read and add to my bookshelf. 4 cups.
