Seeley James

Meet Seeley James, a man whose life's journey has been marked by both turmoil and triumph. As a child, he found solace in the pages of Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island, sparking a passion for storytelling that would stay with him forever.

But life had its challenges. At 17, Seeley faced homelessness and uncertainty, until he discovered a new sense of purpose at 19, adopting a 3-year-old girl, who's now a grown woman with kids of her own.

Seeley's journey took him through a successful career in technology, selling to Fortune 500 executives, and building a life with his beloved wife, who was his rock and inspiration. Together, they raised two children and created a loving home. Though she left this world unexpectedly and far too soon in 2024, her memory and spirit continue to guide Seeley's writing.

Today, Seeley pours his heart and soul into his Sabel Security Series, crafting thrillers that will keep you on the edge of your seat. This Series has captivated readers worldwide, with 16 novels completed and more on the way.

When Seeley's not writing, you can find him exploring the great outdoors or plotting his next adventure. Join him on this thrilling journey, and discover the world of Jacob Stearne and Pia Sabel for yourself!

INTERVIEW WITH BOOKECCENTRIC 


BooKecCenTriC is thrilled to welcome the master of thrills, Seeley James, back to our virtual couch for an interview about his latest adventure, Chasm of Exiles
Enjoy this fun and heart-warming interview!

What's your book about, and what inspired you to write it?

After writing fifteen previous novels that follow the action-adventure, mystery-thriller framework in the Sabel Security series, I decided to examine the effect all the bloodshed would have on a hero. While James Bond slaughtered thousands of henchmen and never thought twice about it, in real life, that kind of crime spree has consequences. Karma if nothing else. That gave me a premise: what happens to a “hero” after the bodies are carted away?

Chasm of Exiles demonstrates the moral struggle for our hero, Jacob Stearne, and his new protégé, a teenaged former stripper named Symone. She wants him to teach her how to kill without remorse, he wants to find simpler ways to solve world problems.

What's the most memorable or impactful response you've received from a reader, and how has it affected you?

There are two answers to this question: First, during the writing of this book, my wife died unexpectedly. The outpouring of love and support from my fans and their encouragement to keep writing sustained me in ways that still inspire me. For a specific, story-related response, several people told me the passage above brought them to tears. That makes it all worthwhile.

What's the biggest misconception people have about being an author?

Glamor. Adoration. Accomplishment. Sorry, it’s lonely AF.
