James Rosone's military career began in 1996 with the Wisconsin Army National Guard, evolving to the U.S. Air Force as a Linguist Debriefer after 9/11. During his 556-day Iraq deployment, he conducted over 2,200 hours of high-value target interrogations, earning recognition for his counterterrorism efforts and the lives he saved through his efforts. Post-military, James worked as a contractor in Iraq with DynCorp and Triple Canopy on the WPPS contract with the State Department before leaving Iraq to take a new role with US CENTCOM. James was then recruited to work on a SOCOM task order, positioning him at the US European Command in Stuttgart, Germany, as the Command's newly appointed Identity Operations Manager. In this role, James worked to establish the Global Identity Intelligence program, a critical program in identifying and preventing KSTs and extremist persons from entering the US and Allied Nations.

Academically, James holds undergraduate degrees from the University of Wisconsin, an MBA from Saint Leo University, and an MSc from the University of Oxford. His academic experiences include internships with Congressman Paul Ryan and Governor of Wisconsin Scott McCallum. 

In 2015, struggling with PTSD after leaving the intelligence world behind, James discovered writing therapy. This coping mechanism transformed into a new career, and in 2017, he became a full-time author with his wife Miranda. Collaborating with his wife, James has co-authored 34 books, selling over a million copies worldwide. Their works were often inspired by James's military and wartime experience coupled with his extensive foreign travel. They have given him and his wife an expansive breadth of experience to draw upon in their storytelling. Their works have been translated into multiple languages, from German and French to Hindi and Japanese. The couple consistently ranks among Amazon's Top-100 Kindle Unlimited authors in the Thriller and Science Fiction genres they write. James and Miranda now advocate writing therapy to help others overcome trauma and PTSD. They mentor aspiring veteran authors, continuing their service through the power of the pen.
