About
About
James Schroeder was born in Palatine, IL in 1991. Growing up in a family of educators, he was always writing stories and other forms of creative writing in his spare time. Throughout his high school and part of his college career, he wrote screenplays for clubs but eventually started writing short stories, instead, for leisure.
After writing a handful of longer stories and Fanfiction, Mr. Schroeder decided to write his own original works. His love for the Mystery and Noir genres inspired him to write his novel, The Devil You Know. The Devil You Know is Mr. Schroeder's first book.
"When you write, you want fame, fortune and personal satisfaction. You want to write what you want to write and feel it's good, and you want this to go on for hundreds of years. You're not likely ever to get all these things, and you're not likely to give up writing [...] if you don't, but that is -- and should be -- your goal. Anything else is kind of piddling.”
Dashiell Hammett
