About James L. Haley
James L. Haley is the author of some twenty books, including contemporary and historical fiction, and the history of Texas and the American West. Critically he is known as a practitioner of what they call “narrative history,” presenting a subject that some might find dry or academic in a lively and compelling way. Among several prizes he has won the Western Writers of America Spur Award twice, and the Texas Historical Commission T. R. Fehrenbach Book Award twice. He is a member of the Texas Institute of Letters and a Fellow of the Texas State Historical Society. His most recent nonfiction includes Wolf, a prize-winning biography of Jack London, a history of the Texas Supreme Court, and Captive Paradise, a widely and well reviewed history of Hawaii. In fiction, G. P. Putnam’s Sons will publish the third of his important new naval adventure series, The Devil in Paradise, in October 2019.
