An author in the tradition of Graham Greene and Michael Ondaatje. Identified as "One of the most arresting new voices in fiction today" by SCMP Magazine, James’s writing explores identity, memory, and the quiet defiance of those left behind. With prose that is both lyrical and unflinching, James’ fictions are meditations on power, survival, and the cost of understanding the world too clearly. A Season of Light – A sweeping wartime tale of love, sacrifice, and resilience that follows intertwined lives struggling to endure and find hope amid the devastation of conflict. Water Washes Earth – In modern Hong Kong, an unexpected romance blooms against a backdrop of political unrest and personal reckoning, testing how far love can endure when history itself threatens to wash it away. Tyger – In the high Himalayas, a group of exhausted climbers is stalked by a Bengal tiger, but the greater danger lies within, as each of them confront the ruthless choices survival demands. Island of the Thieves (2026) – A richly layered historical epic tracing one man’s transformation across oceans, cultures, and empires in a gripping story of identity, survival, and moral reckoning. Michael James’ novels are best suited for readers who appreciate literary fiction with historical depth, richly detailed settings, and an emphasis on psychological and existential themes.
