Christina James is the author of the DI Yates series of crime mystery novels. She was born in rural Lincolnshire and grew up in Spalding. The remote fenland landscape, with its rich soil, deep dykes and peerless sunsets, has always fascinated her and features in all her novels. All nine novels in the DI Yates series are set in Lincolnshire and Norfolk, though DI Yates sometimes makes forays to places as far away as India.
Christina particularly values the opportunity to meet her readers, who have a profound influence on her work. The character of Juliet now shares centre stage with DI Yates because readers showed so much interest in her.
Christina is also an editor. She is a frequent speaker at festivals, where she takes part in author ‘surgeries’, and library and bookshop events.
Bloodhound Books is publishing The Sandringham Mystery in April 2022.
