Welcome to the the Website for
James S. Flynn
Author, Storyteller, Constant Dreamer.
I'm not really an emu, and I don't smoke. I just don't like publicity, so you'll never see my face. I'm not even sure I have one. But I do love emus.
I'm a freelance writer/journalist who is currrently seeking publication interest
for my manuscripts. If something on this site interests you, please reach out. (I am not interested in vanity publishing or where I have to fork out).
Available for publishing
Lightning Road
After losing his mother to addiction, eleven-year-old Cameron King is thrust into a world of street survival, fragile friendships and foster homes. When tragedy strikes again, he flees north with eight-year-old Squirt—his chosen brother he met in their group home—chasing hope up the Newell Highway toward Lightning Ridge. With child services and police closing in, the boys must rely on their wits, loyalty, and each other to outrun the past and find a future worth believing in. A tragicomic, gut wrenching road story about love, loss, and the families we build when the world forgets us.
Publish/Print ready
Flynn better not write any stories about me or our kids or there'll be hell to pay. - Mrs Flynn (Wife)
I went to school with Flynn, and when he'd write in his notebooks, I always thought he was just drawing cock and balls - Jake (Friend)
Critical Acclaim
He was always a bit of a strange kid. Always in his room writing stories with his imaginary friends instead of outside playing in the dirt with real ones. I wish he'd call more often. I could be dead in my bed and he'd never know. - Mrs Flynn (Mom)
I don't know the guy. Do I? - Local Fish & Chip Shop Owner.
He wanted me to compare him to some Kraut Vonnguts feller, but I've never heard of him. Flynns good, but he's no Louis L'Amour. - Uncle Rico.
If he had a real job instead of being a starving author, he might have money to send me to band camp, or get my teeth fixed, or buy me a phone. Tight arse. - Ollie Flynn (Son)

This was supposed to be a blog, but stuffed if I know how to make it into one.
