I'm the happy wife of artist and engineer James Rather, proud mom of Ross and Joseph and delighted Granna to Lauren and Victoria. As an author, I have enjoyed nearly 3 decades of steady publishing, with some 70 titles to my credit. You can view a complete list at my website www.arlenejames.com. I love to travel with my husband and extended family, read voraciously and socialize. I do speak about writing on occasion, but my writing schedule does not permit as much of that as I would like. My faith is extremely important to me, and I continue working on a Biblical Studies degree.

I have a new book trailer available at wwww.myspace.com/arlenejames and on my website, www.arlenejames.com, where you can also find recipes and many links. My husband and sons have always aided me in my work, especially with my Internet presence. The "boys" are currently helping me put together a new website for an exciting new series debuting in September, the Chatam House series. Ross is doing the web design, and Joseph is creating the art. But wait, it gets better! Ross's brother-in-law Keith Haugan produced the latest book trailer and did a bang up job. Ross' and Keith's mother-in-law Nancy Kahle generously did the voice-over. Now how cool is that? And what does it make me? Supremely blessed! Check out the trailer at my website www.arlenejames.com

God bless!
