Love and Other Curious Adventures
A relatable exploration into one woman’s impressions about meaningful aspects of existence, including relationships, pets, nature and survival. The poems are both lyrical and reassuring while drawing on realities and situations familiar to the writer. Her intention is to entertain as well as to encourage balance in dealing with both the conventional and the inconsistent experiences of life. “Love and Other Curious Adventures” includes free verse, rhymed and story poems, as well as Haiku and other brief acknowledged poetic forms the writer categorizes as Braindrops. The book invites the reader to enjoy one poem at a time or venture into a ‘chapter’ focusing on such matters as Family...
Dino Poems and Fossil Bones
April Rhodes James has created an entertaining book of original dinosaur poems to offer her insights about various dinosaurs and prehistoric animals as a result of knowledge gained from the professional paleontological services business Prehistoric Journeys she and her husband Barry James, a vertebrate paleontologist, have owned & operated for 35 years. While the majority of the poems include details as currently understood, some of the poems are just for fun. All have been read aloud and were found to appeal to children as well as adults. In other words, something dinosaur for everyone!
A Field Study of Cats
Cats are affectionate and loyal. They form deep relationships with humans, dogs and other cats. When given half a chance, they reveal wonderfully unique personalities. There are people who are unaware about the depths of feline emotion and who hold the mistaken impression that domesticated kittens and cats automatically switch to a feral lifestyle when dumped on a roadside, in a parking lot or behind a building. In reality, abandonment shock can incapacitate animals; threats and danger often sends them into hiding. Discarded kittens or cats may not find kind-hearted humans willing or able to provide food, shelter and care in time to insure survival, as every cat rescuer or protector knows on...
Prehistoric Journeys
Dinosaurs, indelible real life characters and a dramatic plunge down a judicial rabbit hole that occurs more often than imaginable. The book has been described as "soul searching," "a roller coaster ride" and "movie material" (it has, in fact, now been adapted as a script). It charts the unique journey of a small family, the unconditional support of community, both local and national, and lessons learned as the result of amazing entrepreneurial experiences. All in all, it tells a compelling true story of survival despite curious challenges. This book is a "Thank You" and a message of possibility to anyone who promotes inspiration through honest intent.
Instrumental
James Rhodes' passion for music has been his absolute lifeline. It has been the thread that has held him together through a life that has encompassed pain, conflict and turmoil. Listening to Rachmaninov on a loop as a traumatised teenager or discovering an Adagio by Bach while in a hospital ward – such exquisite miracles of musical genius have helped him survive his demons, and, along with a chance encounter with a stranger, inspired him to become the renowned concert pianist he is today. This is a memoir like no other: unapologetically candid, boldly outspoken and surprisingly funny - James' prose is shot through with an unexpectedly mordant wit, even at the darkest of moments. An impassioned tribute to the therapeutic powers of music, Instrumental also weaves in fascinating facts about how classical music actually works and about the extraordinary lives of some of the great composers. It explains why and how music has the potential to transform all of our lives.

James Rhodes' Playlist
A visually stunning introduction to classical music from piano maestro and bestselling author James Rhodes. "Rhodes makes classical music accessible, relatable, and exciting. It is hard not to be swept up - Rhodes writes with such enthusiasm and thoughtfulness that readers will be dying to listen to the Spotify playlist he shares ... Rhodes makes history and music come alive. Surreal, psychedelic collages ... make the book an eye-popping visual experience as well. A dynamic and infectious introduction to classical music." - Kirkus Bach. Mozart. Beethoven. Old guys with curly wigs, right? But trust me: those composers were the original rock stars. Let me introduce you to some of the most brea...
