The Web Dojo of Writer Joshua James

Today's date is May 19th, 2013

Joshua is a screenwriter and recovering playwright.

He wrote the original thrillers A BLACK HEART and A NATURAL HIGH, and also adapted Peter Biskind's DOWN AND DIRTY PICTURES into a screenplay.

In addition, Joshua adapted Matthew Polly's bestselling book AMERICAN SHAOLIN into a television pilot.

Joshua loves ice cold tea, cool summer breezes and hot Brazilian Jiujitsu, though not necessarily in that order.
