Welcome
Thank you for visiting. My name is James R. Barnes. I’m a U.S. Army veteran, a retired State of Texas Adult Protective Services Supervisor, and the author of fiction, memoir, and theological reflection. My writing and music grow out of lived experience — the good, the hard, and the deeply human.
This site is a simple home for my published work, original songs and ongoing reflections. No noise, no clutter, just the things I’ve created and the stories behind them.
