In this episode, we sit down with award-winning author and MWSA member James Bultema—a military veteran and retired LAPD officer whose career has spanned both combat zones and city streets. His experiences lend authenticity and power to his writing, from his Sea of Red thriller series to his police histories such as The Protectors and Guardians of Angels. A six-time award-winning novelist, James combines real-world insight with gripping storytelling to explore patriotism, duty, and the challenges faced by those who serve.
Join us as James talks about his path from service to storytelling, the research and discipline behind his novels, and the role MWSA has played in his writing journey.
