                                            Tampa Poet Published in Literary Magazine Neptune

        James W.A. is no stranger to epiphanies but recently he received his first credit in a literary magazine in Tampa based bi-annual journal Neptune. His poem, Words Amongst Ashes, talks about his life as a writer, and all that it encompasses. You can check out his and other poets work in the newest issue of Neptune which you can find at the following link: https://www.blurb.com/bookstore/invited/10229810/dde501e6de9c36500760aeb56a92d696b0fbc39a Congratulations James at such an epiphanic achievement.

About the book: 

In his sophomore title and first pure poetry collection, James W. A. explores the duality

found in the journey of one’s soul. Drawing from his own history, observations, and

imagination, he conjures the misery of younger days, the peace of more mature ones,

and the meanings of life and love in both. Found within these pages are stories,

musings, dreams, hopes, and emotions that show a progression from sorrow into joy,

and the shades of each in the other. Pour a glass, open your heart, and prepare to

venture forth with the titular concepts to experience for yourself the darkness of

Desolation and the triumphant elation of Epiphany.

About the Author: 

James W. A. was born, raised, and lives in the Tampa Bay area. After graduating from the University of South Florida, St. Petersburg’s Honors College, he

published his first book, In the Library, in 2015. Since then, he has honed his ever-

evolving, contemporary style, both creatively and as a professional content writer. While

moving away from the dark subjects of younger days, James W. A. seeks to use his

experiences, joys, sorrows, and wonders he sees in the world around him to lead others

to truth and beauty and share meaningful stories to last the ages. 

The author is available for interviews, readings, appearances, and features. For bookings and information, contact his publicist at chelseadevries@thesmartcookiephiles.com
