A message from the author of this web site:
This is a first draft. More interesting additions are planned (eg: book plots). To my knowledge, this is the first web site providing (hopefully) accurate information on author James Mitchell, and dedicated solely to him. My reasons for setting it up are personal, but suffice it to say, I’d like to honour this man, who has influenced my life in such a big way, for the last 27 years...
Thanks, Mr Mitchell.
Yours always in affectionate respect,
Sarah, from Australia.
