Biography

James Porteous started writing record and concert reviews for national magazines when he was 14.

For over 30 years he worked as an Archivist and Visual Researcher, first at Canadian Broadcasting Corp and then Al Jazeera English, in Washington, DC and Doha, Qatar.

Many of the stories featured in this book are culled from those experiences.

James also plays guitar and wrote all of the songs for his book Bo Carter's Blues.
