Gary Jose James is among the baby boom generation, born in New York City and a product of the public school system. He was a staff organizer for the National Welfare Rights Organization (NWRO) from 1966 to 1971, and was consequential in the civil rights and black power movements. Gary held policy and executive positions in various Community Action Agencies (CAA), as well as local Steering Committees. Gary is a theologian in the Eastern Oriental Orthodox tradition, in addition to Judeo-Christianity in the western traditions (Catholics and Protestants). Gary has published four books, ERACISM, EPIPHANY: Three Wise Kings of the Magi, TRANSFER DAY, and Black Politics 2.0, and is the Dean of Deacons and Students in the BalthazarMonastery.com.My genre is non-fiction and topics include current events, politics and religion, however, I am currently working on some working titles for venturing into the novel genre. My most recent release, "Black Politics 2.0" explores that state of black politics prior to the political advent of President Barack Obama. Transfer Day was released in September of 2013. Transfer Day occurred on March 31, 1917 when the United States purchased the Danish West Indies, now known as the Virgin Islands of the United States. The narrative examines the contribution of Virgin Islanders to the cultural, intellectual and political advancement in the United States and New York City in particular. The role of Virgin Islander in the storied Harlem Renaissance and uncovers my ancestral roots on the island of St. Croix wherein my great, great, great grandparents were enslaved under the Danish West Indies. I am also working on various marketing strategies in order to maximize sales of my books as they continue to unfold... There is little fulfillment in writing books if you can't sell them! Therefore, I have engaged the marketing and social media learning curve. In this context I am developing my Internet presence: www.GaryJoseJames.com, www.Sound-Meal.com, www.Africa21Foundation.wordpress.com, www.BalthazarMonastery.com, www.theJCgroup.net.
