Whois James Porteous?

Welcome to the Payhip Store. Please use this site if you would rather not give your hard-earned dollars to Amazon.


You will find three books, each quite different and, I hope, entertaining.


Each also contains a preview, so please feel free to make use of those as well.


And whois?


I started writing music and concert reviews for national magazines when I was 14-years-old, and I have continued to follow and enjoy music ever since.


But one cannot survive writing about music, and so I worked for over 20 years as a digital librarian and archivist, first with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in Toronto and then with Al Jazeera English in Washington, DC, and Doha, Qatar.


I have lived and worked in many places around the world, including Canada, the US, the UK, Doha, Italy, and Germany.


I continue to work as a writer, author, musician, photographer, and online English Tutor.


But writing remains my main passion.


Thank you for supporting indie sites and writers.


James
