In 2023, James embarked on a new creative venture, authoring two distinct books. The first, "Atman," is a reflective and personal non-fiction narrative, drawing inspiration from his life experiences and how I recovered from mental health woes to find my true self, my Atma. This introspective work delves into themes of self-discovery, resilience, and the journey towards understanding one's true self.

The second book, "The Dogs Of Bondi," marks James's foray into children's literature. Set against the vibrant backdrop of Bondi, this charming tale captivates young minds with its vivid storytelling and enchanting characters. Through the adventures of its blind labrador that plays guitar, the book imparts valuable life lessons, fostering a sense of wonder and imagination for parent to read to toddlers.
