James Coyle

Indie Author

A storyteller since he was a kid, James reconnected with his passion for writing after nearly being killed in a motorcycle crash.

Recognizing the event for the life changing opportunity that it was, he took the insurance from the crash, quit his office job, and started writing. Now, he lives with his wife and two dogs in Columbus, Ohio, where he enjoys hiking through all the local parks and driving his car (since he promised his wife he was done with motorcycles). A lover of fun, character driven adventures, James always strives to write novels that transcend worlds and time periods in order to bring deeply personal stories to his readers.

The Galactic Open

The Galactic Open looms, and racing, it seems, is only half of the journey.

In a galaxy full of racers, Killian knows he can be one of the greats. In a desperate attempt to make something of himself, Killian will take on ruthless racers and deadly adrenalites to prove that he belongs. Running a rickety ship isn't exactly the way to move up in this world, but Killian will do his best while surviving on scraps and skill. Hoping to take the galaxy by storm, gain prestige, and devour all that the Galactic Circuit has to offer; Killian must embark on this dangerous trek or risk falling back into obscurity.

Meanwhile, Forge, a connection from Killian's past, struggles to come to terms with the death of his partner, Damien. Working with a broken soul and broken ship, Forge must prepare his cocky young protege for the Galactic Open while also fighting his own demons. Together, Forge and Killian will challenge everything the galaxy knows about what to expect from a racer and their team.

Who knew that the biggest race in the galaxy would be the least of Killian's problems?
