Renee James is lives her life in two genders. She is a parent, grandparent, and spouse, and a war veteran, award-winning writer and editor, a licensed hairdresser, and an active member of the Chicago-area transgender community. Ms. James' first novel, 'Coming Out Can Be Murder' (Windy City Publishers, June, 2012), is the by-product of a fictional journal she wrote on business trips during her magazine editing years. The journal was a reflection on what her life might have been like if she had chosen to become a transsexual woman rather than marry and raise a family as a bi-gendered male. “After a while, I realized that Bobbi Logan, the fictional character I created, was very interesting and much different than me or any character I had encountered in literature,” said Ms. James. “She was flawed and frightened and she had monumental body issues, but she also had a powerful inner resolve and good human qualities. These things made her a unique heroine, and she deserved her own story.” 'Coming Out Can Be Murder' won book-of-the-year honors from the Chicago Writers Association and Foreword Reviews. It was republished as 'Transition to Murder' with a plot change in 2014. 'A Kind of Justice', published in 2016, takes up Bobbi Logan's life five years after her transition and her conflict with a sexual predator in 'Transition to Murder'.
