James Blakey

James Blakey lives in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley where he writes full-time. He's a three-time finalist for the Short Mystery Fiction Society's Derringer Award, winning in 2019 for his story "The Bicycle Thief." He leads critique groups in Harrisonburg, Charlottesville, and Shenandoah County. When James isn't writing, he's on the hiking trail-he's climbed forty of the fifty US state high points-or bike-camping his way up and down the East Coast. SUPERSTITION is his debut novel.
