Author Biography

On James P. Alsphert...author First we'll reveal that James P. Alsphert is a pseudonym......a pen name and leave it at that. Born in San Francisco the young James was, from an early age, interested in astronomy, astrophysics and simply gazing at stars. He began to journal when he was only twelve years of age. His mind wondered about many things, but particularly, are we alone in the universe? James wrote his first sci-fi reality based adventure "TWIW DON" when he was but a lad of thirteen. "THE STORY OF TSOC" followed and then his interest turned to poetry and philosophy, embracing the works of Thoreau, Emerson, Longfellow, Shakespeare and both American and British classical writers. He did not return to fiction seriously until well into his older years. Educated in Southern California - particularly the Los Angeles basin - Alsphert became very familiar with the area in which his father lived. Intrigued by a friend of his father's who in reality, was a private detective......he eventually modeled his own detective Cable Denning after many of those same intriguing characteristics. Alsphert is knowledgeable about music of many kinds and incorporates much of that in to several audiobooks of Cable's escapades. He currently resides in California. James P. Alsphert says he has a strong spiritual nature, and continues to study the aspects of inter-dimensional travel, UFO case histories and the hidden things that 'go bump in the night'. "After all," he says, "there's one hell of a Universe out there!"
