About

James M. Gordon, who writes under the name JM Gordon, was born and raised in the historic town of Natchez, Mississippi. The youngest of four children, he grew up in a close-knit family—his father a dedicated factory worker and his mother a nurturing homemaker. From an early age, James was drawn to storytelling, often weaving vivid tales inspired by the rich culture and layered history of the American South.

He earned a Bachelor of Science in Electronics Engineering Technology (BSEET) from McNeese State University, launching a successful career in the telecommunications industry. For nearly three decades, James has worked as an engineer, navigating the evolving landscape of technology with precision and curiosity.

Though his professional life has been rooted in science and innovation, his passion has always been storytelling. Influenced by literary powerhouses such as Michael Connelly, Greg Iles, Walter Mosley, Dan Brown, and Richard Wright, James strives to craft narratives that are both imaginative and grounded, blending suspense, human complexity, and cultural insight. With every new book, he seeks not only to entertain but also to challenge, inspire, and resonate with readers on a deeper level.

JM Gordon continues to write with the hope that his stories will connect with audiences across generations, offering an authentic voice shaped by experience, heritage, and a lifelong love of great fiction.
