More About the Author

James E. Vaughan was born December 7, 1925 in Ashland, Kentucky. He grew up in the coal-mining town of Van Lear where his father lost his life, along with eight other miners, in a methane gas explosion in 1935. He attended Michigan State College and served in the U. S. Navy during World War II, achieving the rank of lieutenant (jg). He received his BA in mathematics and physics from Oklahoma University in 1947, and his MSE from Arkansas State University in 1962. He managed a commercial broadcast station in Miami, Florida for a time before moving with his wife to an Arkansas farm in 1955, where he lived for 50 years, teaching and writing. He was a member of the Arkansas Educational Telecommunications Commission from 1980 to 1988, and played a major role in establishing a statewide academic competition known as Quiz Bowl while serving on then-Governor Bill Clinton's Task Force on Satelite Education. He now resides in Jonesboro, Arkansas.

"A Study of Vocabulary Improvement Techniques" was published in the NSPI Journal No. 6 in 1968. Over a period of some twenty years he authored more than 60 instructional books, including "Mr. Ready" and "Mr. Phun Phonics" (AudioActive, 1975). "Ceres: A Space Odyssey" a software program for Apple II computers was included in NASA's "Second Edition of Software for Aerospace Education" in 1990 (p. 24, Section I). His first work of fiction, a political story titled "The Polemicists," won the 1993 Heartland Writers' Guild award for Contemporary Fiction. In 1996 his mystery story, "The Case of La Grande Dame," was selected from more than 300 submissions to the New Yorker magazine for inclusion in an anthology. His non-fiction book BANKMULES was published in 2003 by Jesse Stuart Foundation. In 2008 his first novel, THE ALCHYMIST AND THE SILURIST, was published, followed by its sequel, DIANA AND LEO.
