Welcome to to the website for international selling author James Knepp. I have been writing since I was fifteen years old. A very long time ago! The inspiration for my stories have come from dreams, people, places, and incredible events that have touched my life.
The one key moment that inspired me the most was shortly after I became a Christian. I heard a minister teaching about the influence Christians have in society when talking about God and the Bible. The one area in writing that lacked Christian influence was science fiction and fantasy. I took that message to heart. I have several books in print that don’t curse God, and anyone of any age can read to escape life for a few moments.
My book series, “The Black Moor Scrolls” female main character, April Weller, is a young Christian woman. She meets her future husband who is from the fantasy world of Varna. There she gains the reputation for bringing down false gods, laying waste to strongholds, and the entire time she gives God the glory.
The Gem Huntress is my one and only biography. I wrote this inspired by my friend, Marie Vega. At the young age of 18 she walked into the world as a Christian to follow her career to collect rare and precious gems. Being filled with the Holy Spirit she didn’t lead a normal life growing up in the 1970s. Her life is an example of what one can do by trusting God to direct your path. If you’re a fan of the 1970s, her adventures in Europe and Asia will keep you on edge. She didn’t allow political intrigue, or near death incidents, keep her from learning why God allowed her to become a gem huntress. She discovered she was being prepared to assist the Persecuted Church in India!
People I have known, and many I still know, are light posts for me to create believable characters in many other books. In each book I hid “Easter Eggs” that only they would recognize. In most of my books I use the personality of people who have made impressions on my life, and at times their first name, or a twisted version of their last name.
All my books have romance, adventure, and suspense that will keep you glued to the story. My lovely wife would always ask me what was going to happen next when I would leave a chapter on a cliffhanger, especially when I didn’t finish the tense moment in the following chapter.
I belong to several writers groups. There I help new writers, of any age, to keep them inspired toward their writing goals. From gaining experience to avoid being ripped off by vanity publishers. I tell them to follow their dreams. It’s a great way to conquer the mountains in your life. Especially when you have God in the center of your heart.
Why am I a “green” writer? I was raised on a mountain top in picturesque Centre County, Pennsylvania. The quaint village of Sandy Ridge has a population of about 400 residents, most who have lived among the splendor of the forest most of their lives. I have seen the devastating effects of strip mining first hand, and the way the land was wrecked, destroying the habitats of wildlife, plus polluting local waters.
All my books are available for download on the Kindle platform. However, I do recognize the need to hold a paperback while sitting in a chair on the beach. My books can be printed especially for the reader and delivered in a matter of days through Amazon. Inside you will see a print date to remind you when you made your purchase! None of my books are in libraries, unless a reader wants to donate one for public reading enjoyment. Kick back and forget about life by diving into one of my books. Happy reading!
