James Thomas Covey was raised in a modest environment; his love for the movies inspired him, and at an early age, he began writing ghost stories. A disc jockey, among other professions, he has met and entertained people from all walks of life. He began writing in earnest ten years ago and has, to date, completed five manuscripts. “Bender’s Quest” is his first to be published. New Kensington, Pennsylvania is where he's hailed all of his life. He is widowed and has a daughter, and a brand new son-in-law.
