About James Kinsley
Writing novels
I'm a writer based in Norfolk, UK. My fourth book It's Hard to Tell You This, a novella about regret, was published in September 2025. I want to explore all kinds of storytelling, in all kinds of genres, not limiting myself or sticking to a comfortable path.
I live with my wife and two blind cats, and made the ridiculous decision to give my feline idiots their own Substack. So if you like cat content (and who doesn't), that's worth a look.
All donations received here go back into publicity and marketing costs for my self-published work. I love what I do, but it's tough to make a living at it. Buying a book is a great way to support me, but I'm always appreciative of an extra kind gesture too.
