Jake travels with his mother to visit relatives in Tromso, northern Norway. Knowing they were close to the North Pole, he was hoping he might see Santa Claus, which happens on his first night when one of Santa's elves, takes a jet-lagged Jake on a high-speed journey from his bedroom to Santa's Village for a memorable five-minute meeting with the big man, himself, before returning the boy to Tromso. When he tells his mother, she says it was just another dream, like the one at Easter, caused by jet-lag, but Jake knows this time it was real.
The youngest of three children James spent the last seven years of his education at a boys' private school in the coastal city of Geelong. During his time here, he became a senior N.C.O. in the school's army cadet unit, having undergone basic, practical military training for promotion, on a regular army base for two weeks in 1971, as a fourteen-year-old, at the end of the nineth grade.

Another ten years later, he drafted Outback Heroes after several visits to several parts of the vast Australian outback. Enemies Within was written just four years afterwards to give closure to the unanswered questions in Outback Heroes, and is set back in London, near to his ancestral roots. James has always liked putting pen to paper, and has had two articles published in Australian aviation magazines (1996 and 2008).
Over a six-month period from January to June, 2004, James wrote the first three stories of another, four-part, fictional autobiography, yet to be published, entitled Blades, about the traumatic and difficult teenage years of a 'top-gun' helicopter pilot named Julian.
