BT JAMES learned very early on to keep his eyes and ears open, all the better to see and hear the stories around him. Maintaining the highest standards of traditional journalism, his byline (Thomas Becker) has appeared in Maine and Pennsylvania newspapers, as well as reporting news on Central PA radio stations, where he also wrote and produced commercials. His “Observations” can be found on his Facebook page “BT James Author and Observer.”

Known for having “a vivid imagination” since he was a child, James has put this to use writing several pieces of fiction. His first full-length novel, ILLD’EL: HOMO SAPIENS AVIUM was published in 2023.

“When a child is told to sit down and be quiet, eventually that child becomes an observer.”
