 ""First and foremost I am a caring, compassionate individual."

                                                                       Allen James​

Born an army brat in Western Kentucky in the middle of coal mining country, James, the youngest of seven children, learned quickly the benefits of looking at the negatives, and it seemed there were many, and transforming them into positives.  Starting work at the young age of 14 as a dishwasher for a local restaurant he realized just as quickly he wanted more out of life.  Following graduation from high school Allen James was the first in his family to graduate from a 4 year state university and soon found himself married and teaching high school and college English in Southeast Missouri where he attained his master's degree. 

     From there he continued his education until he had received his doctorate degree in psychological counseling.  Throughout these years James met hundreds of individuals, young and old alike, who impacted his life greatly; some in negative ways, others in very positive ways.  These interactions led him to hone his writing skills, not only in fiction but ultimately into these practical daily desk calendars in book form.  Hopefully the thoughts placed on the pages of these book calendars will affect the reader in ways which promotes positivity in their lives and assists in looking at the world with an entirely new perspective which will bring the success sought and deserved.
