Simone St. James

Simone St. James is a Canadian author of mystery, historical fiction, and romance novels. The themes in St. James's novels often include ghosts, crime, and an investigation. She lives outside of Toronto, Canada and had twenty years of experience in the television business before leaving to write full-time. St. James was inspired to write her first book because she wanted to read a ghost story that was creepy but not gory, and that had a romance in it. Since she couldn't find it, she wrote it herself. Although she claims never to have seen a ghost personally, her books are all about the possibility, and specifically about the "what if" moment. The first books written by St. James were set in the 1920s. She decided after that to write for other time periods like the 1950s.
