Long-standing family ties to the American West inspired James Gerry to study history at Colgate University, where he completed a senior thesis on the tensions between westward-moving European settlers and the Indigenous peoples they encountered. A man of faith, he has long grappled with the role religion plays in warfare - especially in conflicts where both sides believe God is 'on their side'. He has made the UK his home since 1987, and Home By Another Way is his first novel.
