James Moore grew up as an air force brat moving every four years, which included a long stint in Japan. He joined the army in 1963 and ended up traveling over other parts of the world (together with a tour of Vietnam at an inappropriate time) as a medic in a helicopter unit. He earned his BA at University of Texas Arlington and his MA at University of Houston-Clear Lake. He spent twenty-five years in the public relations field and then began his career in teaching with Central Texas College as an adjunct professor of English. He was contracted to various aircraft carriers in the US Navy in the midst of and after the 9/11 attack by terrorists. After eleven ships, twenty-one ports of call, and a lot of ocean (mostly the Persian Gulf), he settled into a more comfortable private setting of Chrysalis High School in Woodinville, Washington, as a consulting teacher and continues to teach English and history classes. He resides in Lynnwood, Washington, and has two children and eight grandchildren.
