Author: James Osborne
I’m the author of a three-novel trilogy called The Secret Shepherd Conspiracies. The first, PRESCRIPTION FOR DECEPTION, has received high praise, including this: "Just finished 'Prescription For Deception' 30 minutes ago! Wow!!! What a thriller!!!! Began reading it this afternoon and couldn't put it down." -- Linda Wilson. (The exclamation marks are hers.) The second novel, THE PLOT TO ASSASSINATE SECRET SHEPHERD, also has enjoyed high praise from reviewers, among these: "It's a magnificent story of faith and hope prevailing in a world under siege." -- New York editor and publisher Lois W. Stern. Most recently released by my publisher Next Chapter Inc., is THE MAIDSTONE CONSPIRACY, the third and final book of the trilogy. I am also the author of the thriller novel THE ULTIMATE THREAT, an Amazon #1 bestseller. Other examples of my work can be found in dozens of anthologies, magazines, journals and blogs. Awaiting publication is a two-volume series of short stories, the first called DRAGONFLIES AND THE GREAT BLUE HERON and the second, MIRACLES AND MISADVENTURES. My books are available online in paperback, ebook and hardcover from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, Kobo, and Google Play, among other sites. I've enjoyed a varied career including investigative journalist, college teacher, army officer, vice-president of a Fortune 500 company, author, and business owner.
