James H. Esker Jr. began his career as a traditional graphic artist from sunny San Diego, California but as technology beckoned, he made a daring leap into the realm of computer graphics. As an Art Director, he became a creative genius behind mind-blowing T-shirt art, movie posters, comic book covers, trading cards, and more. Beneath that talented exterior lurked a secret desire — he dreamt of being a children's book creator. Retirement finally granted him the time to unleash this hidden passion! Now, armed with his crazy imagination, James creates enchanting children's books, bringing giggles and smiles to kids worldwide. When not crafting creative concoctions, James enjoys the laid-back life in a cozy town on Florida's wild West coast, surrounded by his beautiful loving wife, two mischievous dachshunds, and an attitude-filled parrot.
