Co-authors of Hell Is Naked: Jean James and Mary James
Author Jean James—Jean James was active in many outdoor pursuits before becoming a full-time writer. She collected live mammals and reptiles for international distribution, collected live venomous snakes for antivenom production, and was involved in sundry wilderness construction projects. She also worked as a press agent, a songwriter, and was the captain of a small, leaky cabin cruiser. She is the mother of six children, the youngest being her co-writer on this book—Mary James.
Author Mary James—Mary James began life as a musical prodigy—could read music before she could read words and wrote original songs at age five. By age seven, she was proficient on the guitar, banjo, and violin, and entertained audiences across the US with her vocal and instrumental skills. Since that time her life has been one long road show interspersed with TV, radio, and film work. Today this eleven-instrument-wielding musician is not only known internationally for her lightning-fast fingers and unmistakable vocals but is also an award-winning songwriter and book author.
