James Calemine grew up on Saint Simons Island, Georgia. He graduated from the University of Georgia in 1991. Writer Stanley Booth recently said of Calemine, “James Calemine’s heart and writing justify him being respected by anybody.” He wrote for periodicals such as The Georgia Music Magazine, Paste, Hittin’ The Note and Elegant Island Living.

Several new books are in the works...
