James LaFleur writes each and every book with his longtime friend and writing partner, Gordon Massie. After spending the summers of their youth together: hunting, fishing, playing video games, and enjoying a world of imagination through books, movies, and late night storytelling, the two grew up on different continents--LaFleur in the US and Massie in Wales.Both men had an avid love for a wide variety of novels, from action to fantasy, sci-fi, and horror. But their true love was movies. Mutual favorites included Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold, Romancing the Stone, and of course, the Indiana Jones trilogy. Having developed their storytelling abilities as children, during which time they created in-depth action stories, as teens they both delved into writing but soon discovered that the magic just wasn't there without having each other to fuel the fire of imagination. In 2008, Massie had asked LaFleur what he'd think about rekindling their imaginative genius, and combine forces once again to create an adventure series based on the stories of their youth; a borderline YA series that adults would cherish just as much as teens. With that, the Crisis Trilogy was born!
