About Me

James Pressler
I've been a career analyst who has lived a double-life for the past two decades as a creative writer, exploring the world beyond facts and figures. My writing comes from a personal passion for storytelling, for offering new perspectives to familiar themes, with moods ranging from friendly humor to serious observations on the darker aspects of life.
